The Amazing and Hidden Ancestry of the Prince of David Yehoshua whom the World today still calls Jesus.

The Prince of David, Yehoshua, known as “Jesus” in today’s modern world was born a Prince of David and heir to the Throne of Kings David and Solomon. Being a descendant of the Jewish Exilarch, Zerubabbel the Prince of Israel who took the Jewish people back to the land of Judea, Yehoshua was heir to the throne of Babylon, Zerubabbel’s first “foreign wife” Amytis, the daughter of Babylonian Emperor Amel-Marduk, the grand-daughter of King Nebuchadnezzar.

Their descendant was Jacob ben Matthan, the reigning Patriarch of Jerusalem, whose marriage was approved by the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem for by 4 CE, all the lineages of the approved Jewish descendants by Zerubabbel’s third Jewish wife Esthra through their first son, Shazrezzar were now extinct and the Jewish cleric, Ezra the Scribe’s edicts; To become a Jew your mother must be a Jew” had now become null and void.

Yehoshua’s Great Grandfather was the Prince and Patriarch of Jerusalem, Jacob ben Matthan, who was the Nasi or president of the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem from 32 to 23 BCE. He was sent to Egypt by King Herod to aid Cleopatra the Queen of Egypt and Mark Anthony in the war against Octavian of Rome. Jacob returned to Jerusalem with a new wife, Cleopatra of Jerusalem, the posthumous daughter of Julius Caesar in Rome and Cleopatra of Egypt after the death of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony.

Jacob the Nasi Patriarch of Jerusalem first brother was Prince Hizkiah (Ezekias) who was called “The Zealot” who died in 4 BC at the hands of Rome for his uprising against the Roman dominion over ancient Judea. Jacob’s second brother was Judas “of Gamala” was called the “Galilean” who died in 6 CE also in rebellion against Rome.

Out of the marriage of Prince Jacob ben Matthan and Cleopatra II of Jerusalem, the daughter of Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, they had a son about 29 BCE whose name was Joseph. His literal name was Joseph O’Pheroah (29 BCE-26 CE) or literally called “Joseph the Pharaoh”. That made Yehoshua also the heir not only to the Throne of Kings David and Solomon but also to Ancient Egypt and Rome for Cleopatra II was the posthumous daughter of the relations between Queen Cleopatra of Egypt and Julius the Caesar of Rome that made the young Yehoshua the potential heir of the throne of Ancient Rome, for “Joseph the Pharaoh” (Yosef O’Pheroah) the genetic father of the Prince of David Yehoshua.

Yehoshua’s maternal uncle was the “Richest Man in Jerusalem”, Joseph of Arimathea, a Metal Merchant called a Roman Decurio who had the mining contract with the Roman Caesar to extract the strategic military metals for Rome, lead and tin off the Cornwall Coast of Ancient Britannia. Joseph of Arimathea was the son of Matthat ben Levi, who was executed by King Herod the Great for Joseph of Arimathea sat on the “Hereditary Seat of Kings David and Solomon” in the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and was a member of the Roman judicial council in Jerusalem.

Joseph of Arimathea was the half-brother to the biblical Heli of the Luke’s lineage who real name was the Prince Alexander II Helios, was the son of the last Maccabean Queen Alexandra II, so through Miriam his mother, Yehoshua was the heir to the Maccabean Throne when Prince Alexander II Helios was drowned in the Herodian pool in Jericho, no doubt by the long arm of King Herod the Great who was threatened by the any of the royal claimants to the Throne of Ancient Judea.

Yehoshua’s mother, Miriam is two thousand years later the most admired woman in the 1st century Temple of Herod culture.Miriam’s mother, Anna (Hannah) was the wife of Prince Alexander II Helios, the heir to the Maccabean throne. She was one of three daughters to the High Priest of Jerusalem Yehoshua III also called the “High Priest Jesus III or Joshua III”. The High Priest Yehoshua III was also killed by King Herod’s long arm of justice for he was strongly promoting the defense Ancient Judea against Rome.

The High Priest of Jerusalem, Yehoshua III (Jesus III) being the father of Anna, and the grandmother Miriam, also a Princess of King David and Solomon, Miriam, the High Priest’s granddaughter, also gave Miriam’s son, Yehoshua (Jesus) heir to become not only the High Priest of Jerusalem but also to become the defacto King of Israel.

Now we can see in this historical document why Yehoshua was such a threat to the ruling high priestly family of the House of Ananus and the reigning High Priest Caiphas who was the son-in-law to Ananus the Elder.

************

It was on the Palace of Ananus the Elder that the proceedings began for a “trial for life” against the Nazarene. It was initiated by the ex-officio high priest of Israel.

The initial interrogator was the most potent enemy of Yehoshua, the Patriarch of the feared and often accursed high priest family, Ananus the Elder. This family came under the specific condemnation over thirty years later by the Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus. He investigated the last years of the Jewish people before the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70 CE. Concerning Ananus the Elder, Josephus wrote:

Flavius Josephus – “Now, as soon as Albinus was come to the city of Jerusalem, he used all his endeavors and care that the country might be kept in peace, and this by destroying many of the Sicarii; but as for the high priest Ananus, he increased in glory every day, and this to a great degree, and had obtained the favor and esteem of the citizens in a signal manner; for he was a great hoarder up of money: he therefore cultivated the friendship of Albinus and of the High Priest Yehoshua III by making them presents; he also had servants who were very wicked, who joined themselves to the boldest sort of the people, and went to the threshing floors, and took away the tithes that belonged to the priests by violence, and did not refrain from beating such as would not give these tithes to them. So the other high priests acted in the like manner, as did those his servants, without any one being able to prohibit them; so that (some of the) priests, that of old were wont to be supported with those tithes, died for want of food.” (Josephus, Antiquities, XX,ix,2)

During the initial interrogation, the High Priest Joseph Caiphas was not present near the vicinity of the family Palace residence. This may have served to give him plausible denial and not make him culpable with the Romans later.

According to Torah Law, Caiphas was mandated by the Divine presence to meditate in his temple residence, bringing his thoughts in harmony with the Almighty One of Israel.

In the hours before the Pesach lamb was to have been sacrificed, the high priest was making desperate moves to save his power and authority from this one minor rabbi, a true Prince of the Dynastic House of Kings David and Solomon that sought to return the Temple of Herod, Inc. back into a “House of Prayer”.

Matthew 21:13 – “And He said to them, ‘It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.”

As archaeologists would later reveal, the residence of the High Priest was a palatial palace with many numerous mikvah baths, pools, and fountains. It was also a fortified residence with its own security guard including a prison with holding cells for prisoners and iron racks to bind prisoners like the Nazarene for beating and punishment.

Included in this interrogation center was an isolation cell as secure and severe as the feared Mamertine Prison (Tullianum) in Rome where enemies of Rome such as Jugurtha and Vercingetorix were strangled or as political prisoners were executed by being thrown off the Tarpeian Rock.

This prison was described by the Roman author Sallust around 40 BCE as “about twelve feet deep, closed all round by strong walls and a stone vault. Its aspect is repugnant and fearsome from its neglect, darkness, and stench.”

One may get the impression that the Jewish people were a powerful people in the Roman society. Composing 10% of the population in all the Roman Empire, the wealth of the empire of Rome came from the super-rich Jews such as the Roman mining Decurio from Britain, the Prince of David called Joseph of Arimathea and one of the leading Elders of the Sanhedrin; and the wealthy grain magnate called Nicodemus.

They both had residences in Jerusalem and Judea. This gave the impression that the Jewish influence in Roman economic life was as prominent in Roman society as it is today in Greco-Roman influenced societies of America and Europe.

The Jewish religion was a religion of great antiquity and respected by the Roman government of Augustus Caesar. Though the Jews were subject to the Roman government, the land of Judea was also Rome’s breadbasket. The land was fertile with rich farmlands and large forests in the days of Yehoshua.

The Roman government usually treated its subjects with benign neglect after they had been truly pacified and willing to work as subjects of Rome. Yet, the Jews were different. Though used to living under the foreign governments of Babylon and Persia, the Jews under Rome were a sociological mix; bred with fire and brimstone. It was known that the Roman hatred of the Jew grew out of the virulent hatred of the Jewish zealots to Rome. It was Hillel the Great who recognized this effect.

Yet, the moderating attitude of the disciples of the Great Hillel was no longer felt within the temple culture in Jerusalem. The disciples of Shammai, the brooding isolationists that hated all gentiles were in control of the Pharisee educational system and great cultural fences were being set up around temple Judaism of the Prince of David, Yehoshua’s day.

It was not the minute parsing of Torah regulations that cast such a devastating effect on Jewish society, but the pall of corruption within the temple priesthood cult. The corruption was so great that the Sons of Ananus and the Sons of Boethus were virtually hated in Jewish peasant society. Their servants and slaves were like mad dogs in abusing the people.

It was not just the savagery of the servants of the high priest that brought this distain but the desecration of the Sanctuary and the graft and thievery in the Bazaars of Ananus alongside the temple that flamed the fury of the Jews in Jerusalem and Judea.

It was popular curse of the peasants and working class that left this Talmudic testimony of the popular sentiment of distain for the high priests families that controlled the sacrificial system of the Temple of Herod.

The Plague of the Sadducean Families allied with the Shammai the Great

Talmud, Pesahim 57

“What a plague is the family of Simon Boethus; cursed be their lances!

What a plague is the family of Ananos; cursed be their hissing of vipers!

What a plague is the family of Cantharus; cursed be their pens!

What a plague is the family of Ismael ben Phabi; cursed be their fists!

They are high priests themselves, their sons are treasurers, their sons-in-law are commanders, and their servants strike people with staves.”

To fulfill the commands of the Torah, soon only the very elite could afford the exorbant prices for the ashes of the red heifer that were required for ritual purity and proper Torah observance. The rude poverty of the masses with filth and hunger and unwashed fringes on their garments were only a symptom of how low the respect for the Torah had become as the Orthodox Jewish Rabbi and Prince of David, Yehoshua walked among the throngs of the poor and the disenfranchised of Jewish society.

The Ashes of the Red Heifer that fulfilled the Torah commands in the Purification Rites of the Jews

Within the ancient commands from their God were the rites for the purification of the entire population, not just the wealthy and the beautiful. As written in the Torah, anyone who touched a dead body was ritually unclean. They were required to cleanse themselves with the sprinkle of the water which contained even the micro-fragments of the ashes of the red heifer.

Taken from the ritual sacrifice of that rare mutation of the red cow, only those that did not have more than two white hairs on their entire red hairy body at the age of two were proclaimed as pure and acceptable to the G-d of Israel.

The ashes of red heifer were so priceless that they were a treasure more valuable than the most costly pearl of great price. The ashes of the red heifer were treasured as a temple heirloom throughout the generations.

How purification came from such a ritual was a scientific mystery that even the great wisdom of Solomon could not understand. All Jews, regardless of wealth, were equal in the eyes of G-d and so they equally had access to this national treasure.

According to the traditions of the Jews, the House of Ananus had virtual possession of the office of the high priest of Israel, the ashes of the red heifer were available to rich and poor alike.

Soon these “ashes” like the office of the high priest went for the price of the highest bidder. Only the very elite, the wealthy, and the powerful were allowed to touch the dead and be cleansed of their impurity.

The masses of people would be segregated and denied from access to their G-d. The poor mothers of Israel would have to remain unclean, not able to purify their bodies of the blood of their offspring by the purification sacrifice. Even the price of the doves, for the purification offering for the first born, were raised to such astronomical prices that many daughters of the Holy One would be left out, unclean.

Their cry against the Sadducean priests, carried down through the centuries in the verses in the Talmud, were only a vague echo of the intense passion and hatred of the people to the Temple leadership of King Herod’s Temple.

This impending trial of the Rabbinic Prince Yehoshua revealed two facts by the extra judicial acts of the House of Ananus against Yehoshua. It revealed the fear of the temple leadership to Yehoshua for they “feared the people” who were followers of him.

The High Priest was desperate to push this trial with the greatest speed because of Caiphas’ insecurity by the great popularity of the Nazarene with the Jewish pilgrims arriving in Jerusalem for the festivals from Galilee.

It also suggested that Caiphas, the high priest, had some secret intelligence concerning the Roman procurator with prior intrigues and covert attacks against the Caesar of Rome that would prevent any retaliation by the Roman Procurator Pontius Pilate.

To accomplish what did happen on that day of Passover were the acts of desperation, collusion, and conspiracy. It took all the forces of the families of the controlling elite to bring about the event that they hoped would topple the magnetic spell of Prince Yehoshua in the land. It would be a conspiracy that would include many in the great aristocratic families of the Sadducean oligarchs of Judaism.

The Palace of the High Priest

If we were disciples of Rabbi Yehoshua in first century Judea, the city of Jerusalem would have looked much different. There on the southeastern slopes of Mount Zion are the archeological remains of one of the finest palatial residences in Jerusalem. Nestled in the heart of the wealthy and elite sector of Jerusalem, was the home of the wealthiest family in Jerusalem. Outside this residence was an austere nondescript exterior that was constructed by blocks of Jerusalem stone.

It was not one house but a series of homes, offices, courtyards, gardens, and an elaborate number of ritual mikvah baths. Alongside was a sentry watchtower with a turreted tower. The palace actually was a fortified residence with its own special guard detachment with barracks with underground prisoner cells and interrogation chambers.

The palatial residence of the Sadducean high priestly family called the House of Ananus was the most powerful and feared family in Judea. The residence was connected to the temple complex by an overhead causeway, whose archeological remains can be seen today. This is where the powerful elite and the wealthy returned to their homes from the temple. It was also where the members of the Sanhedrin, officials of the high priest court, and the high priest family could traverse in safety to the temple and its courtyards without becoming in contact with the masses of people below.

Inside the palace was not just a residence but a hidden government within the temple aristocratic government. Inside the outer gate was an external courtyard paved in white marble and encircled about with official buildings in service to the High Priest; tax collectors, administration offices, and courtiers in service to the court of the House of Ananus.

The Outer Courtyard

Soon to arrive in this courtyard would be the two disciples of Rabbi Yehoshua; Simon bar Jonas, later called the Apostle Simon Peter, and Yohannes, later called the Apostle John. It was John whom the textual evidence suggests that he may have been a Levite who apparently had inside connections with the family of the high priest. Yet the evidence later may even suggest a more profound identity of the “other disciple” that Simon Peter followed.

John 18:15-16 – “And Simon Peter followed Yehoshua, and so did another disciple (John). Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Yehoshua into the courtyard of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door outside.

Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in. Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, ‘You are not also one of this man’s disciples, are you? He said, ‘I am not.’ Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.”

So began the trilogy of denials that soon crucified the old Simon from Galilee and resurrected the new spiritual Peter within. Here is where the Apostle Peter began a new life as an international emissary for his Master Yehoshua.

When we dissect the testimony of the author of the Gospel of John, we begin to understand that Ananus was seeking or procuring witnesses during the initial accusation phase of the interrogations.

The disciple, Simon Peter was brought into the residence of the high priest by “another disciple” that was known to the high priest. Simon Peter was soon released as an “unreliable” witness with the mixed testimonies that he rendered so had to wait the outcome of the interrogations in the outer porch or the “place of the blowing (beth chatser) along with the temple guards and servants of the high priest.

Yet, the “other disciple”, Yohanan Eleazar, known to us as Lazarus, was a member of the Sanhedrin, yet it appears that he was not to be a part of the criminal court, and was privileged to watch the entire trial proceedings as an inside observer. He later gave his testimony with these words:

John 21:24 – “This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.”

Inside the outer court was the inner courtyard of the palace. Here in true oriental fashion was the private residence of Ananus the Elder plus the residence of each of his five sons plus his daughters and their families. It was one of these daughters whose husband, Joseph Caiphas, was the current reigning high priest of Israel. Nearby was a smaller court where the rooms for the specially selected private bodyguards for the entire House of Ananus were housed.

The Residence of the High Priest Family

Whereas the outside of the palace was nondescript, the inside of the private residence was a paradise. In the inner court were the gardens of the High Priest where the air was a mixture of intoxicating scents and aromas of flowering trees and gardens surrounding swimming pools and mikvahs.

Nearby was a park laid out with the tall cypress, outlined with flowering oleanders of pinks, red, and yellows and the flowering ethrog (citron) trees that surrounded the pools of waters.

Highlighted was a rose garden, the favorite flower of the Jerusalem aristocracy with brilliant cascading mounds with a million shades of color.

During the hot summer days when the hot parching winds blew in from the Dead Sea and the wilderness wadis to the east of Jerusalem, water became a luxury item. The populous of Jerusalem lined the troughs for the meager trickle of water coming down from the Gihon Spring to the pool of Siloah.

The water skins carried by the water carriers to the more affluent were easily stolen by the parched residents desperate for nourishment during the days when the hot sandy air filled the sky.

In contrast, within the court of the high priest, fountains of bronzed lions spouting with dancing waters, were artistically placed within and surrounding the pools. Special lead pipes, whose lead and tin were mined by Jewish Saracens in the Cornwall region of Britain, took the water from the temple to the gardens of Ananus.

They laid along the side of the pipes bringing the blood of the sacrifices of the lambs and oxen from the temple for fertilizer for the soil. The gardens, though ritually contaminated with the blood of the animals, bloomed with a rare richness and radiance rarely seen in any horticultural paradise. Surrounding the pools were nests for flocks of white turtledoves.

Inside the home were marbled stairways leading to hallways of Corinthian columns with cedar beams supported by the capitals of these majestic columns. Surrounding the halls were tapestries and mosaics of fine wood, all engraved, embroidered, or interwoven with Jewish religious symbols.

Beyond the hall of columns was the great reception hall, the de-facto throne of Jerusalem, for within this one residence resided three high priests, Ananus the Elder, his son Eleazar, and son-in-law, Caiphas, with their families. Within the same residence, the future high priests were being groomed; Jonathan, Theophilus, and the most articulate, brash and brilliant, Ananus the Younger.

The dining hall of the family overlooked one of the most beautiful vistas in the whole city. The temple of Herod to the northeast, in all its glory, rose like an eleven-story building from the Kidron Valley. Across the ravine of the Kidron Valley rose the majestic Mount of Olives with a northern and the southern eminence, the later called the Mount of Offense.

It was actually on the Mount of Offense that gave the best view of ancient Jerusalem, for it being directly east of the old city of David to the south of the Gihon Springs. It was this same mount that commanded an opposing central view from the dining terrace of this priestly family.

Over and around the archaeological remains of rock cut dwellings, cellars, cisterns, prison houses, isolation chambers and stables is a remarkable basilica of contemporary and ancient lines, called the Church of Saint Peter in Gallicantu.

It was constructed by the French monastic order called the Assumptionists in 1933 to commemorate the site where the Apostle Peter denied Jesus three times.

Christian and Jewish Messianic followers of Yehoshua both attest that it is believed that here that the Davidian Royal claimant Yehoshua was kept in isolation after his arrest. It was also here that the interrogation by Ananus the Elder, the chief priests, scribes and Shammaite Pharisees, who sought His death, was conducted in the darkness of the hours after midnight.

About six hours later, Prince Yehoshua was raised from the isolation pit and sent over to the Sanhedrin for trial the next morning. As the hours after midnight wore on, Rabbi Yehoshua was at the mercy of the hired servants and security detail hidden beneath the residence above of the high priest.

Luke 22:63-65 – “Now the men who held Jesus mocked Him and beat him. And having blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him, saying, ‘Prophecy! Who is the one who struck You? And many other things they blasphemously spoke against him.”

Unable to extract any implicating testimony from Yehoshua nor able to find two recognizable witnesses with collaborating and converging testimony against him, the prosecution case appeared to falter. The gospel testimonies suggest that Caiphas was not a part of the early midnight interrogation in the palatial residence. He was required to remain on the temple court in a purified state during the Passover celebration.

What is known is that Yehoshua was arrested without charge, taken for interrogation in a private residence, imprisoned, assaulted, and abused with torture in order to extract damaging evidence against Him. John the Beloved was the only disciple who had security access to the residence of Ananus the Elder. The Apostles John’s testimony, we find interesting:

John 18:19-24 – “The High Priest (Ananus the Elder) then asked Yehoshua about His disciples and His doctrine. Yehoshua answered him;

Yehoshua HaNotzri - "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jew always meet, and in secret I have said nothing. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them, indeed they know what I said.

And when he had said these things, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, ‘Do You answer the high priest like that?’ Jesus answered him ‘If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why do you strike Me?”

Today this monumental residential palace of Ananus the Elder has been located and archeologically excavated. It was first mentioned in the historical texts by the Jewish Pilgrim from Bordeaux, who in 333 CE visited the city of Jerusalem and later wrote his memoirs. Here he recounted traveling from the Pool of Siloa over to Mount Zion where in route one would come across the house of Caiphas the High Priest.

Anonymous Pilgrim from Bordeaux – “Also as you come out of Jerusalem to go up Mount Sion, on the left hand, below in the valley, beside the wall, is a pool which is called Siloe and has four porticoes; and there is another large pool outside it. This spring runs for six days and nights, but on the seventh day, which is the Sabbath, it does not run at all, either by day or by night.

On this side one goes up Sion, and sees where the house of Caiaphas the priest was, and there still stands a column against which Christ was beaten with rods. Within, however, inside the wall of Sion, is seen the place where was David's palace. Of seven synagogues which once were there, one alone remains; the rest are ploughed over and sown upon, as said Isaiah the prophet (Isaiah 1:2.4-8; Micah 3:9-12).”

Later, John documented that after Prince Yehoshua was kept in the darkness of the night in the palace of the high priests, he was again transported to another location.

John 18:24 – “Then Ananus sent Him bound to Caiphas the high priest.”

We now know that the high priest was still at the temple, in preparation for the upcoming Pesach festival, or else he would have been ritually contaminated. In an impure state, he would have been unable to preside as the high priest at the slaying of the Pesach Lamb.

Luke and Matthew bring more details to the story, with the following historical details of the transportation not just to Caiphas, the high priest, but to the “Council”, or the Great Sanhedrin in the Chamber of Hewn Stones, for trial.

Luke 22:66 – “As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led him into their council …”

Matthew 27:1 – “When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Yehoshua to put him to death.”

It was here that the Great Sanhedrin sat in judgment in trial of this Galilean Rabbi called Yehoshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene). It was a remarkable event of travesty in judicial history that occurred that morning.

The prior evening was cold, not unlike the spring of 2007 where snow covered the city of Jerusalem up to the early part of April. The secret interrogation proceedings in the residence were not discussed in Luke’s history, except for the identity crisis of the “brave” Galilean bodyguard of Yehoshua, Simon Peter, who so valiantly fought in an armed struggle for Yehoshua, and cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant.

Peter was now fearfully sitting around the outer courtyard fireplace when his identity was recognized three times by servants and accomplices of the high priest. With fear stricken eyes, he denied knowing his Master, three times. As the rooster crowed at the break of dawn, a new spiritual Peter arose from his moral execution to a new identity with his Lord.

It was John, the “disciple that was known to the high priest” (John 18:15) and could only give a first-hand testimony of this evening, who wrote:

John 18:12-13 – “Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him. And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiphas who was high priest that year.

************

Seeing is believing! For over 2000 years, the world has been affixed with the drama of those few years of time that a single solitary Prince of the esteemed dynastic lineage of Kings David and Solomon shook up the then known world at that time.

His life literally became a “Drama of the Ages” that evoked such a passion in the lives of not only the entire peasantry class of Jewish people, but his fame swept across the entire Middle East changing and transforming all the inhabitants of that era.

It has been stated in hundreds of different cultures that the world as we know today would be totally different if it were not for this one life, for out of his one life, one who was a Neshama Yehudi (Jewish soul) affected so many variant cultures that out of his spiritual loins rose Three Major Religions of the world; Judaism, Christianity and over six hundred years later Islam.

The era of man is standing now on the brink of the seashore waiting to be passed through the inter dimensional veil of the “World to Come.” The day is coming soon when we will break through that inter dimensional barrier and stand on the beach of a “New World” and a “New Age” as the rising Light of the age called the “Era of the Messiah” raises to its glorious manifestation.

The day is coming soon when Hashem the One G-d of Israel will stretch forth His great hand of judgment and cleanse the earth from the great pollution of man upon Planet Earth. He will take away the “blood oaths” from between the mouths of the Palestinian Arabs, He will restore the Land of Israel back to “Am Yisra’el”, that means both the House of Joseph (All Ten Tribes of the House of Israel), and the House of Judah.

He will then redeem and restore His own “sheep” back into a living relationship with Himself. If you are chosen, as a Lost Tribal Member of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, your destiny is to return to your Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and Christian 10-Triber Vision to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United).

This Supernal Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.

As early as 1550 BCE, the Hebrews living in Egypt were in the throes of a major catastrophic era that catapulted them into to a new era: redemptions from slavery and restoration to the Land promised to their forefather, Abraham. This was the land of Canaan in the land of Israel today.

On the day of redemption, when the “blood” of the slain lamb was sprinkled on the door post, the “first born” of that family was saved from the avenging angel of death passing over Egypt. The march to a new life also began with eating of the paschal lamb on that first Passover. While the Passover is HaShem’s Passover(Exodus 12:11, Leviticus 23:5, Numbers 28:16, and II Chronicles 35:1), we can also call it the Hebrew’s Passover.

Almost a thousand years later, the remnant of the Hebrews was being redeemed from their 70 years of bondage in Babylon and Persia. Here the Judeans (Jews) from the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin returned to resettle Jerusalem. Now, new ways of observing the Torah festivals were instituted and with it the Passover Seder as we know it today.

The modern Torah Seder is not the same that the Hebrews observed while in Egypt and the Sinai desert. Babylonian influence, such as the Seder egg, crept into the more primitive Palestinian Seder rites that soon disappeared after being augmented by the influence of the Babylonian Haggadah.

In a way, we can call the modern Passover Seder a Jewish festival where the instructions on how to practice or perform this Seder is spelled out in instructional manuals, called “The Haggadah”.

Leviticus 23:5-6 – “On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord.” (See also Numbers 28:16-17)

When Moshe (Moses) was in Egypt, he was given special instructions that the Israelites were notto hold a festival in the land of Egypt. Therefore, Moses went to the Pharaoh seeking permission to go to the land of Goshen so that the Israelites could a festival.

Exodus 5:1 – “Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, ’thus says the L-rd G-d of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”

Why was such a strange command given by G-d to Moses? Was it His divine purpose just to say, “I won’t permit it?” The reality appears that HaShem, the G-d of Israel did have a divine purpose for He intended to deal with the Pharaoh, the representative of Egypt’s divine god, Ra, person to Person. He did not want the Israelites to become involved, so that none of them would be hurt or killed.

A festival by the Israelites in Egypt would have been offensive to the Egyptian priesthood. The festivals would have been celebrated with animal sacrifices and grain sacrifices, yet the Egyptians worshipped the animals and the grains as their deities. It was these deities that the Israelites were going to sacrifice to the G-d of Israel. Such an act would have been detestable with the Egyptian priests of Ra and could have provoked the death warrant for Moses and many Hebrews.

Exodus 8:25-26 – “Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, ‘Go, sacrifice to your G-d in the land.’ And Moses said, ‘It is not right to do so, for we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to the L-rd our G-d. If we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, then will they not stone us? We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the L-rd our G-d as He will command us.’”

Was not the goddess of Hathor in Dendura portrayed as the sacred cow? Was not the sacred bull that was worshipped as Apis, the actual embodiment of Ptah, Atum-Ra, and later Osiris to the Egyptians?

These bulls were housed in the temple for their entire life, then embalmed, and given their funerary rites while being encased in giant monolithic stone sarcophagi in the Serapeum at Saqqara.

Even the grain sacrifices of the Hebrews would have been offensive, for Nepri was the grain god, Ermutet was the goddess of the crops, and the jackal-headed Anubis was the guardian of the fields. Above all, was Osiris, a member of the Egyptian sacred trinity, was the god of agriculture. Now the Israelites were going to sacrifice the Egyptian gods to the Almighty One of Israel.

Yet, the Passover was held in Egypt. Why? The Passover was a memorial, not a festival, to an event that occurred in Egypt. It would also point to a more profound event that would occur in the future. The mood of Passover was symbolized by pain and suffering. On the afternoon of the 14th day of Nisan, the Hebrews were to sacrifice their favorite unblemished lamb, the best of their flock.

For the Hebrews, who did have faith (emuna) in the sovereignty of their G-d, the blood of this lamb was to literally “save” the firstborn sons of their family and the firstborn of all their sheep, goats, and cattle. It was take a lot of faith, emuna, to believe their Sovereign G-d in asking them to do such an incomprehensible task; slay the lamb, take the blood and put it on the doorpost of their dwelling and their firstborn sons and animals would be saved from death.

The shadow-picture in Egypt to the Israelites was now about to see its complete fulfillment sixteen hundred years, or 40 generations later. Only a few hours after the Last Supper, the “Only Begotten” firstborn “Son of G-d” would be impaled, like the Korban lamb, His blood splattered on the upright wooden tree (stake) so that all the world, who had “emuna” (faith) in the sovereign G-d of Israel would be saved from eternal death.

John 3:16 – “For HaShem so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For HaShem did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.”

Passover compared with the Festival of Unleavened Bread

While the Passover was a Memorial Day symbolizing suffering and death, the Festival of Unleavened Bread was a celebration of joy for the Hebrews. Their days of slavery and servitude to the Egyptians were over. While the Passover had only one sacrifice, many sacrifices were to be offered these seven days during the Festival of Unleavened Bread, as an aroma that was pleasing to the Almighty One of Israel.

Numbers 28:24-25 – “In this manner you shall offer the food of the offering made by fire daily for seven days, as a sweet aroma to the L-rd; it shall be offered besides the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. And on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work.”

While the 14th day of Nisan was day of Passover, the 15th day of Nisan was the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread. There were several distinctions that separated the Passover from the Festival of Unleavened Bread.

The Passover was a memorial of suffering and grief, while the Festival was a festival of joy.

The Passover was a work day. It was a preparation day for a memorial that would culminate in a feast of bitter-delight. The first day of the Festival was a High Sabbath, like the Seventh-day Shabbat, in which no work was to be done.

While the Passover was a work day, buying and selling was done in the temple bazaars, where the lambs were purchased to be used for the memorial feast, the High Sabbath of the Festival, was a Shabbat, where buying and selling was prohibited.

The Passover was highlighted by one sacrifice, the Pesach lamb, the blood of sacrifice for salvation from death, and a meal of bitter-sweet remembrance. The Festival was highlighted by many sacrifices that were to be a delight to the Lord.

The unleavened bread at Passover was to represent the slain life of the Pesach lamb looking forward to the future slain “body” of the Korban Pesach Lamb of G-d that was without sin (Matthew 26:26). The unleavened bread at the Festival was to represent “sincerity and truth” in our relationship with the divine with a transparent life without the leavening of sin.

The Passover was a memorial that was to be observed by only the circumcised Hebrews while the Festival of Unleavened Bread was a festival open to all participants; circumcised and uncircumcised; Jews and Gentiles alike. (Exodus 12:19 vs. Exodus 2:43)

Yet, something happened, when the Jews were taken to Babylon in the 6th century BCE. The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread began to merge into one festival. This historical fact is confirmed by the Encyclopaedia Judaica:

Encyclopaedia Judaica – “The feast of Passover consists of two parts: The Passover ceremony and the feast of Unleavened Bread. Originally, both parts existed separately; but at the beginning of the (Babylonian) exile, they were combined.” (Encyclopaedia Judaica, Vol. 13, p. 169)

Passover in the Days of the Rabbi called Yehoshua Ha Notzri (Jesus the Nazarene)

By the time of the first century, when Prince of David called Yehoshua began his rabbinic yeshiva in “Halachic Torah observation’, there was practiced during the Passover Festival season several different times in which the Passover Seder was observed.

In as much as Prince Yehoshua (Joshua) was a Jewish rabbi, the practice of a Passover Seder would be whether He accepted the traditions of the Sadducees (“Sunrise Reckoning where the day begins at sunrise”), the Pharisees (“Sunset Reckoning where the day begins at sunset”), the Essenes (the Passover was always celebrated on the eve of Wednesday, per their (solar calendar), or the Galileans and other pilgrims from the Diaspora where a “Double Passover” was observed.

It was a little more complex, as the Pharisees in control of the synagogues and religious education in Judea in the days of Jesus were from the School of Shammai.

The Pharisaic traditions of the Essenes were probably more closely akin to the revered School of Hillel the Great. Here is where we see the great debates of Rabbi Yehoshua who sided with the Pharisees of School of Hillel.

Yehoshua was challenging the halakhic rulings of the Pharisees of the School of Shammai, in defense of the Hasidic Pharisees of the School of Hillel the Great.

To add even more complexity, Yehoshua the Rabbi was from Galilee, and could have observed the “Double Passover Seder” per the traditions of the Galileans in the Diaspora. Yet, as a Hasidic rabbi, who followed the Torah, above the letter of the law, the Prince of David and now Rabbi Yehoshua adhered more closely to the Passover observations of the great Rabbi Hillel and his Av Beis Din, the “Father of the Court” of Hillel’s Sanhedrin; Menahem the Essene.

Therefore, Yehoshua may have observed the Passover in a manner closer to the non-sacrificial observing, vegetarian Essenes who rejected the corrupt “traditions of men” by the Pharisees of the School of Shammai and the corrupted temple sacrifices by the Sadducee high priests.

As the month of Nisan, it was the month in which the Festival Year of the L-rd began. Per the biblical commands of the L-rd, it was to begin on the sighting of the “New Moon” over Jerusalem, called the Rosh Chodesh Nisan (First day of the month of Nisan).

Yet, there were neither telecommunications nor international media to notify the Jews around the Roman Empire, or the Babylonian Diaspora that the Jewish Passover season had now begun.

Pilgrims coming from Babylon had to make personal preparations in advance in order to participate in the Temple of King Herod Passover season in Jerusalem. Knowing with great certitude when the festival would begin was of great importance.

Even the sighting of the New Moon could have been in question, so a “Double Passover” began to be observed; on the 15th and 16th days following a 29 day month, and the 14th and 15th days after a 30 day month.

Either way, the 15th day of Nisan was observed as the “High Shabbat” of the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was also a “High Shabbat”, or a second “Sabbath” which made the Festival of Unleavened Bread an eight-day festival like the fall Festival of Sukkot (Feast of Thanksgiving).

Model for the Calendar of Events on the Passover on 30 CE

On the 1st day of Nisan in 30 CE,the signal flares spread from Jerusalem to the Euphrates Valley where most of the Jewish pilgrims came from. As explained in the Mishnah in Rosh Hashanah 22b:

Rosh Hashanah 22b – “At first they used to kindle flares, but after the misleading deeds of the Samaritans it was decided that messengers go forth...And where did they kindle the flares? From the top of the Mount of Olives (they signaled) to Sarteba, and from Sarteba to Agrippina, and from Agrippina to Hauran to Bet Baltin (a Babylonian city near the Euphrates). They did not go beyond Bet Baltin, but there the flare was waved to and fro and up and down until a man could see the whole diaspora before him like a sea of fire.”

During the next 14 days, we witnessed the following: the Passover Lamb was selected in the fields on the 10th day, and brought into the city of Jerusalem, just after Yehoshua strode in through the northern Damascus Gate on a donkey into the city of Jerusalem to the awaiting throngs of pilgrims with palm branches, waving and shouting, “Hosannah to the Son of David, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the L-rd. Hosannah in the Highest” (Matthew 20:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19)

The next three days (10th, 11th and 12th), the PesachLamb was inspected for its ritual purity within the courts of the temple. At the same time, the Lamb of G-d was inspected for His theological and Torah observance purity according to the Torah: the Law given to Moses.

During these three days, Yehoshua had virtual control of the temple as the people were flocking to witness the healing physical, and spiritual power of the Galilean rabbi who brought in living color how the “kingdom of G-d” could become a living reality someday in the future when the “Era of the Messiah” will begin.

On Tuesday evening, the 13th of Nisan, the Nazarene met with His disciples in the Essene Quarters, and there in the Upper Terrace over the Tomb of King David, he as a human being participated in a Passover with his disciples without the Pesach Lamb, ala vegetarian per the customs of the Essenes in Qumran, in what we know today as the Last Supper.

When the Last Supper was over, Yehoshua with His disciples left for the final time, towards the Mount called Zion. Yehoshua was now outside the protective custody of the Essenes. Together they walked down the paved Maccabean pathway near to the gate near the Palace of the High Priest, and then down into the Kidron Valley and beyond.

They were going to a place where they could rest in the garden district of the Mount of Olives looking directly towards the temple of Yahweh. The night was one of agony, broken with the sounds of an armed multitude.

The hopes of the messianic fulfillment for the redemption of National Judah from Rome were on the verge of being crushed. Bound by a mob, Yehoshua was taken back to the palace of the high priests where he would undergo interrogation, torture, imprisonment and abuse.

On Wednesday, the 14th day of Nisan, as daylight began to break over the western slopes of the Hills of Moab east of Jerusalem, Yehoshua was taken to the Council of Hewn Stones, where the Great Sanhedrin met in an emergency meeting, near the high priest’s temple residence.

Here Caiphas was residing in ritual purity for the preparation of the lambs that were to be slain on the temple mount that day. It is estimated that upwards to 300,000 lambs were prepared to be eaten by the Jewish pilgrims over the next twenty-our hours for the three million Jewish Passover participants.

It was on Wednesday evening, the eve of the 15th of Nisan, per the traditions of the Sadducee’s, that the first Passover Seders were conducted. This was in observance to the Temple calendar that was in the control by the Sadducees ruled by the families of the high priests, the House of Ananias.

As the Passover lamb was being slain on the court of the Temple at the ninth hour, the Pesach Lamb of G-d was hanging from a tree with a cross-arm gallows in fulfillment of the commands of the Torah:

Deuteronomy 21:20-23 – “And they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘this son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.

If a man has committed a sin deserving of death, and he is put to death, and you shall hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the Lord your G-d is giving you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of G-d.”

This sounds reminiscent of the charges by provocateurs that were placed against Yehoshua. These charges would later set the stage for the accusations that He would face during the interrogation proceedings, imprisonment in the Palace of the High Priest, and the trial later in the Great Sanhedrin that eventually led to His acquittal but eventual conviction of death for blasphemy by the High Priest Caiphas of the House of Ananias:

Matthew 11:19 – “For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors, and sinners!’ but wisdom is justified by her children.’”

With the Passover festival was over, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread arrived on Thursday, the 15th of Nisan. As ruled, according to the “Double Passover” traditions, the Diaspora Jews continued to arrive from Galilee and the Babylonian Diaspora.

The 15th day the Passover was celebrated and supported by the Shammaite Pharisees. This second “sunrise” Passover influenced by the Babylonian pilgrims would be celebrated twenty- four hours after the traditional “sunset” Sadducee Passover Seder, on the 14th of Nisan.

By the 16th of Nisan, Friday, the preparation day for the weekly Shabbat, Yehoshua had been in the tomb for two nights and two days. Then Yehoshua rested in the grave on the seventh-day Shabbat, the 17th of Nisan, this time in celebration of the creative act of His Father, who through Yehoshua, the incarnated “Soul of Metatron”, the Angel of the Presence of the Divine who stood as the defense attorney before the Court in Heaven in the 7th Heaven of the Tiferet of the Sefirot of the World of the Divine.

The ancient third century Syrian Eastern Catholic Christian traditions, called the “Catholic doctrine of the Twelve Apostles and the Holy Disciples of our L-rd”, relate that the Last Supper was a Pesach meal, per the solar sunset calendar of the Essenes.

It was the Essenes and the Hasidim, who opposed the Sadducees as corrupt priests. This Passover Seder even occurred before the slaying of the lambs which happened on Friday as prescribed by the Sadducean Temple Lunar Sunset Calendar; three-days later on the eve of the seventh-day Shabbat.

It is interesting that the Last Supper does not reflect any roasted lamb and would reflect a vegetarian tradition, as accepted in the Essene tradition, who felt that the first century temple culture of the Sadducees and the Pharisee of Shammai was corrupted.

It is also interesting that this vegetarian tradition is reflected also in the modern Jewish Pesach Seder, where the Pesach Lamb in symbolized by a lamb shank bone, but no meat is eaten, where we know that the Passover lamb could not be sacrificed in the temple court with the destruction of the Temple of Herod in 70 CE.

During this same era of time, the disciples and followers of the Nazarene were now under the leadership of James the Just, the brother of Yehoshua, who was known for his great piety.

Also during this same era, it is believed that the “House with the Upper Room” was converted into an Hasidic Orthodox synagogue called the “Hebrew Nazarene Ecclesia This ultra-Orthodox synagogue did institute historically a non-sacrificial Passover Seder and festival in the Temple of Herod that was presided by James the Just, the brother of Yehoshua, who represented the Nazarenes as their high priest.

James the Just, in accordance with the ancient literature also became the Nasi of the Nazarene Sanhedrin and served as the High Priest of the of Israel. Clearly the traditions do reflect that the real Pesach Lamb of G-d that was slain, fulfilled the role of the traditional Pesach Lamb.

As the Omens against the Jewish temple service unfolded over the next forty years, the evidence became more clear that the temple sacrificial service presided by the Sadducean high priests was not pleasing to the G-d of Israel and was rejected.

As accounted in the Gospel of the Apostle John, after giving them the re-Newed Covenant with partaking of the Bread and Wine, Yehoshua confronted Judas Ischariot with his demonic mission and offered to him leavened bread sopped in wine in symbolism that the last of the leavening was leaving this upper terrace as the time for the Passover had now arrived in the land.

The Pesach Traditions of the “High Sabbath”

John 19:31, 33 – “Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a ‘high day”), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away…But when they came to Yehoshua and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.”

This apparent insertion into the gospel text, of unknown origin and date, has set the tone and the dating for the death of Yehoshua for almost two thousand years. In the Hebrew traditions, the High Sabbath was called the “Shabbat haGadol” or the Shabbot, or mandatory rest days during festival or feast days. (Leviticus 23:7, 8, 21, 24, 27, 28, 32, 36, and the 39) The weekly seventh-day Shabbat always occurred on the seventh-day of the Jewish weekly cycle-. Yet, the festival “High Shabbat” was a floating Sabbath that occurred any day of the week.

Many Christian traditions later following the Orthodox Roman Catholic Church’s tradition that Yehoshua died on the “cross” on Friday, the preparation day for the Jewish Shabbat. Unfortunately, that acknowledgment of the seventh-day Sabbath by the Christian traditions did not reflect in the Catholic recognition of the sanctity of that sacred day in celebration of the creation of the world, as commanded in the 4th Command of the Decalogue.

Exodus 20:8 – “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your Go-d. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore, the L-rd blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

The messianic Nazarenes, or the Jewish followers of Yehoshua as their Jewish messiah, could easily reflect that Yehoshua did lay in the tomb and “rested” on the day that He and His Father in heaven celebrated as a day of rest from their mighty “Acts of the Creation” of this Planet Earth.

During the Festival of Passover (Pesach), the 15th and the 21st days of Nisan were “High Sabbaths”, yet they did not necessarily fall on the seventh-day Sabbath as they were floating Sabbaths. Yet the days before the 15th and the 21st day were preparation days for the festival Sabbaths.

This difference in the interpretations in the “High Sabbath” between the Jewish and Catholic Christian traditions makes a profound difference in the interpretation of which day Yehoshua (Joshua/Jesus) was crucified, or hanged from a tree.

The Christian Catholic tradition has proclaimed that the preparation day before the crucifixion of Yehoshua was on Friday before the Passover Sabbath that was the seventh-day, which happened to be the Jewish seventh-day Sabbath. The Hebrew-Jewish traditions do not recognize the Catholic Christian traditions that the “High Sabbath” was the merging of the Seventh-day Sabbath and the Festival Sabbath of Passover.

Instead the Jews proclaim that the “High Sabbath” was the Festival Sabbath that was on any day of the week, Sunday through Saturday. The Christian Catholic traditions have “High Holy Days” that are associated with their Christian festivals but the Hebrew-Jewish traditions do not have any references in the Torah, the TaNaKh, or the Talmud of any “High Holy Days” associated with the Jewish festivals.

There is yet another interesting “Sabbath” that also is identified with the Passover Shabbat. The “Great Sabbath of Passover” is called the “Shabbat haGadol” or the “Sabbath” that is five days prior to the day that the Hebrews were to leave Egypt.

As recorded in the Jewish traditions and their oral writings, called the Oral Torah, the Israelites were commanded by Moses to take a lamb and tie it to their bedpost on the 10th day of Nisan.

Suddenly the Egyptian people noticed that a significant number of lambs were being bought on the Egyptian market and inquired why. They were informed that the lambs were to be used as a Paschal Offering, sacrificed in preparation for the next coming plague, the Plague of the Firstborn.

The Egyptian firstborn were inflamed and demanded that the Pharaoh immediately release the Hebrews, which he refused. A civil war broke out and the Egyptian firstborn attacked the Egyptian army of the Pharaoh which resulted in the death of many of the Egyptians that committed atrocities to the Hebrews. Even though the Egyptian priesthood was incensed that the Israelites were sacrificing an Egyptian deity, a lamb, they also were helpless and powerless to intervene.

It is interesting that the day of the “Great Sabbath of Passover”, “Shabbat haGadol”on the 10th of Nisan in 30 CE, the high priest was returning from the fields to bring in the chosen Pesach lamb. Coincidently, simultaneous to that moment of time, according to the testimony in the 1st Temple of Herod Era CE” that Yehoshua rode in through the northern Damascus Gate into Jerusalem on a donkey, arriving as a Davidian royal claimant, they were also bringing in the Pesach Land and the historical tradition stayed that he symbolically became the Pesach Lamb of G-d.

It was early in his ministry, the wedding at Cana was over and Yehoshua was heading to Jerusalem with his new disciples in the spring of 28 CE. He promptly went into the temple’s Bazaar of Hanan and there made a very political and provocative move.

He took a “whip of cords” and drove out the servants of Ananus the Elder that were selling the sheep and the oxen for the temple sacrifices. He then threw over the tables and stalls of the money exchequer of the temple as the money exchangers fled in terror from His presence. The exchange rates were now scalping the peasants, while the gold of the Jews was flowing into the Temple of Herod, Inc’s coffers in increasing amounts.

Yehoshua then walked to the sellers of the doves, whose prices had risen to such extravagant prices that the poor “daughters of Israel” were no longer able to redeem themselves and their child in the temple of the Lord and were now pronounced unclean. To the sellers of the doves He shouted:

John 2:16 – “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

The “Jews", whom the Jewish peasants called the “chief priests”, the “temple scribes”, and “synagogue rulers”, the “Pharisees of the School of Shammai”, confronted Yehoshua to question, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?” (John 2:18)

They wanted a supernatural sign to prove to them His authority that He had the authority to desecrate the business and temple management system. Yehoshua told them, they would someday see the “sign”:

John 2:19 – “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up!”

Their response was as profound as their lack of spiritual insight:

John 2:20 – “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

It was on the road to Caesarea Philippi, north of Galilee, that Yehoshua confronted His disciples with the question, “Who do men say that I am? (Mark 8:16) At that time the populous in Galilee were talking among themselves that the Nazarene was “John the Baptist”, “Elijah” or one of the prophets. He then asked, “Who do you think that I am?” It was Peter, the son of Jonah (Simon bar Jonas), who proudly proclaimed, “You are the Maschiach (Messiah).” (Mark 8:28-30)

Since the days of the kings of the Children of Israel, it has been accepted in Jewish halakha that there can be a “Messiah” in every generation of G-d’s Chosen People. It was King Hezekiah in the days of King Sennacherib when the City of Jerusalem was surrounded by the Assyrian Army who was chosen to be the messiah of his generation. Was not King Cyrus the Great also chosen to be a messiah of his generation, also?

As Yehoshua and his talmidim, Simon Peter, were looking eye to eye, the awkward moment became silent tense, for the Yehoshua then warned them that they were not to tell anyone their feelings about His messiahship.

The Nazarene then began to open to them the revelations about His future mission and the implications upon His and their lives.

Mark 8:31 – “And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.”

It was near to the close of the Nazarene's ministry. The miraculous feeding of the five thousand had made Yehoshua a popular folk hero to the Galilean peasants. The account of the transfiguration of Yehoshua by the chosen three disciples had made Him a messianic hero to His chosen twelve.

He then sent out his seventy chosen disciples, who may have later made up His Nazarene Sanhedrin of Seventy to harvest the souls desiring to be participants in the “kingdom of G-d” from the surrounding villages.

They returned from reaping the harvest for souls to be put into service for the one they believed was the “Messiah of their age”. When they returned, they told of stories of their power over the agencies of Satan. The thrust of the messianic mission of Yehoshua was quickly expanding.

Then in Jerusalem, He was healing a person who was aphasic, or could not speak. He was called a “mute”, and the cause of being unable to speak, and the thrust of His healing was by casting out a demon from his body. Yehoshua was immediately attacked as being “Beelzebub, the rule of the demons”, and wanted to know His “Sign” for His healing authority.

Matthew 12:39-42 – “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except for the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and there nights in the belly of the great fish, so a will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

A Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater one than Solomon is here.”

The “Jews”, (temple and synagogue leadership) after His death and resurrection, were now able to reflect upon the “Sign of Jonah” that was sought by the temple rulers, Pharisees, and scribes. Spiritual understanding was now to be transformed into a literal reality.

From Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday day and night, and whole day of the Seventh-day Shabbat (Sabbath), Yehoshua a lay in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.

With the temple guards protecting the exterior of the tomb to prevent the disciples from stealing His body, Yehoshua arose in a second cataclysmic earthquake, one in which the bowels of the earth would give up Yehoshua as the “first fruits” of the “dead” along with a whole company of resurrected saints that were later carried back to that other dimensional realm where the Temple of Heaven was located.

The sun was setting over the horizon and the preparation day for the Sadducean Passover was about to begin. The disciples were clueless on what was about to shatter the reality of their life.

They had been learning how to be in covenant with the G-d of Israel with their Hasidic Master, who lived a life of Torah above the letter of the law. They were now given a re-Newed covenant, not a New Torah, that was coupled with the sacrificial offering of the Pesach lamb and the redemption of bondage from the slavery of sin. They began to wonder, what was coming next?

Yehoshua sat back on His sofa in the upper terrace and with his talmidim (disciples) surrounding Him sitting on mats on the floor, began a lengthy discourse. He would send their minds to the throne of the Almighty One, revisit the relationships of the World of the Divine, and begin to dismantle their messianic anticipations that were premised only on the salvation of the Jews and the Zionistic anticipation of a global messianic State of Israel.

************

Seeing is believing! For over 2000 years, the world has been affixed with the drama of those few years of time that a single solitary Prince of the esteemed dynastic lineage of Kings David and Solomon shook up the then known world at that time.

His life literally became a “Drama of the Ages” that evoked such a passion in the lives of not only the entire peasantry class of Jewish people, but his fame swept across the entire Middle East changing and transforming all the inhabitants of that era.

It has been stated in hundreds of different cultures that the world as we know today would be totally different if it were not for this one life, for out of his one life, one who was a Neshama Yehudi (Jewish soul) affected so many variant cultures that out of his spiritual loins rose Three Major Religions of the world; Judaism, Christianity and over six hundred years later Islam.

The era of man is standing now on the brink of the seashore waiting to be passed through the inter dimensional veil of the “World to Come.” The day is coming soon when we will break through that inter dimensional barrier and stand on the beach of a “New World” and a “New Age” as the rising Light of the age called the “Era of the Messiah” raises to its glorious manifestation.

The day is coming soon when Hashem the One G-d of Israel will stretch forth His great hand of judgment and cleanse the earth from the great pollution of man upon Planet Earth. He will take away the “blood oaths” from between the mouths of the Palestinian Arabs, He will restore the Land of Israel back to “Am Yisra’el”, that means both the House of Joseph (All Ten Tribes of the House of Israel), and the House of Judah.

He will then redeem and restore His own “sheep” back into a living relationship with Himself. If you are chosen, as a Lost Tribal Member of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, your destiny is to return to your Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and Christian 10-Triber Vision to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This Supernal Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.

Many consider that after the foot washing of the feet of His disciples, Yehoshua (Jesus/Joshua) left the upper terrace of the residence. Yet, in the Sefer (Book) of John, the evening for the last teachings by their Master to His chosen eleven, was just beginning.

What would you say if you were the Prince of David, Yehoshua, and had only one hour left before the cascading events of Calvary were to begin cascading around Him? What would be your last words that you would be privileged to communicate privately with those disciples that had been following you throughout Galilee and Judea for the last three and one-half years?

Prince Yehoshua carefully began to outline to His chosen eleven the mysteries of the divine and the human relationship. This was not just a few parting remarks, but a lengthy discourse. With the setting of the sun, the stars of the heavens began to shine forth in their brilliance. He could now reveal to them the pathway of the reNewed Torah in their new life.

The New Commandment of the Nazarene’s – “Love One Another”

This was to be the culmination of the all the private instructions of Yehoshua given personally to his talmidim. The “Son of Man” was soon to be executed. Out of His death, He would be glorified by His Father in heaven in this cosmic drama nearby on the Mount called Zion in Jerusalem.

The other-dimensional world in the angelic realms would now intersect with the earthly dimensions through the glorified person of Yehoshua who would eventually receive an ascended level of spiritual enlightenment as he moved in and out of 3rd and 4th dimensional spheres.

The disciples would soon be revealed a most profound and personal revelation. They would be privileged to witness how they would someday also be glorified in Yehoshua, as the cosmic “Tree of life” that was shattered in the Garden of Eden would be restored.

The purpose of this most profound revelation would be the “First Act” of the glorification of human flesh as was first revealed in the divine creation of man in the Garden called Gan Eden (Garden of Eden). Here in Eden was created the human body untainted by sin in the form of the first married couple; Adam with Chavah (Eve). They were humans that were created as “Light Beings”.

Within their bodies, the Supernal Glory of G-d radiated thru the energized, untainted, and uncorrupted blood as it streamed through their cardio-vascular system. Their bodies glowed with the revealed glory of their Creator.

The disciples, a few days later, would behold a glorified human whom they would recognize as the resurrected Messiah of Israel. Yehoshua would soon wrestle the dominion of this planet earth away from HaSatan (Satan) through this divine act as the power of the dark forces began to shatter. The days of the forces of evil from this day forward, were now numbered.

What would you say if you were an emissary sent from the heavenly dimensions to reveal the fullest manifestation of the Almighty One of Israel that could be revealed in human flesh? The mystery of the incarnation was an event that had no historical counterpart.

Was Yehoshua’s G-d now revealed in the flesh? No! Was Yehoshua the fullest revelation of the Almighty One that could be manifested in the flesh? Yes! He was the most complete revelation of seven of the ten emanations of the Unknown Ein Sof, the Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient Monotheistic Eternal One.

As the “Hidden One”, how could Yehoshua now reveal to His disciples in these last few minutes the hidden mysteries of divine personal relationship between the Father and Son, mirrored by the Son with all mankind?

The vast streams of energy from the Source of Creation flowed through the emanation called, Tiferet, in the Sefirot or “Image of Yehoshua”, who was the “Image of the Divine One of Israel”. On this earth, He was the “Son” cloaked in the fallen and degenerated form of humanity burdened with the ravages of four millenniums of the curse of sin.

Yehoshua informed them that He would soon leave them and go to a place where they could not go. There was one last command that He wanted to leave them, “that you love one another; as I have loved you” so that all would know “that you are My disciples.”

The legacy of the Nazarene Orthodox Jews was not to be holy wars, crusades, jihads, rebellions, or uprisings against social evil, injustice, or an imperial enemy. The transforming power of “divine love” exhibited in the relationships between one another would be the hallmark of the identity of His followers. (John 13:31-37)

We can almost imagine, the Prince of David Yehoshua rising from His couch on the upper terrace and looking over the silk draped balcony towards the House of the Lord (Beit (Bayit) HaMikdash) on Mount Moriah.

The imagery of His message began to describe to the chosen disciples the divine archetype of heavenly relationships; His relationship with His Father in the heavenly spheres.

In Yehoshua’s heavenly dwelling place was His Father’s Bayit (House). As the disciples, had dwelling places here on earth, so in the heavenly archetype where there were many dwelling chambers in the House of the Lord in heaven.

As the Levites and priests lived during their temple service in the House of the Lord, so the chosen ones would soon become royal priests and live in Yehoshua’s Father’s House. To become a part of Go-d was to become a part of the “family of G-d”.

As He looked to the northwest, there stood the earthy representation of His Father’s House in heaven. He knew there was a great concern in the Jewish disciples’ mind of how to personally know their G-d; the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Yet the Davidian Prince Yehoshua’s (Joshua’s) words were one of comfort, “Let not your hearts be troubled; you believe in G-d, believe also in Me. In My Abba’s Bayit (Father’s house) are many dwelling chambers (mansions)…I go to prepare a place for you, and…I will come again and receive you to Myself…I am the derech (pathway), the emet (truth), and the chayim (life); no man comes to the (Abba) Father in heaven except through Me.”

Here Yehoshua was describing the “Cosmic Tree of Life” called the Sefirot.Here along the “Pole of Grace”, all prayers, communication, and creative energies flowed to and from the other created worlds through the Tiferetto the World of the Divine. He urged them to try to comprehend that if they truly knew Him, they would know His Father, the Holy One of Israel. He tried to get them to grasp that He was not the Holy One of Israel, but that they both resided in the World of the Divine.

Yehoshua’s Father was all ten of the unfathomable ten dimensions of mathematical completeness. Yehoshua was the complete revelation of seven of those attributes.

As such, the authority that He spoke was because the Holy One of Israel was speaking through Him, for the Father dwelled within Him, and through Yehoshua the emanations of the Holy One radiated to all creation the glory of the Eternal One. As Eve was in Adam, so Yehoshua was in the Father, for His Father was dwelling in Him.

To connect with the World of the Divine, all the disciples of Yehoshua had to do was to ask in the Name of Yehoshua. The prayers of the Nazarenes would be sealed with the Name of Yehoshua. He would respond to them so the “Father would be esteemed in the Son”. There would be only one gentle warning to the Nazarene followers, “If you love me, keep My mitzvot (commandments)”.

Here was the Jewish Sage par excellent, who lived his life “above and beyond” the “letter of Torah Law”. Here was the One who told anyone who sought to be his disciple; “Follow Me!” “Do as I do!” “Do as I say!”

It was this Rabbi’s gentle reminder that Torah observance was a precondition for the revelations of Yehoshua to be given to His followers. (John 14:1-12)

The Ruach HaKodesh (Divine Spirit) is Promised to Yehoshua’s Disciples

The Davidian Prince Yehoshua knew that he left them, he also leave behind a vacuum or a void within their lives. He promised them that He would not leave them “orphans” or alone. His Father would send them the “Helper” or the “Comforter” who was the “Spirit of Truth”. Together the Divine Spirit and the Nazarene, Yehoshua would dwell within them in the spirit.

Now, the Nazarene disciples were promised fellowship with both the Father and the Son. The Son’s “dwelling place” would be along the “central pole of grace” of the Sefirot of the Divine World that would connect the Ein Sof, the Unseen G-d of Israel, with the Orthodox Nazarene talmidin (disciples) of the Nazarene.

Yehoshua wanted his disciples to know that when He did leave them, He would be with them always. How was this to be? The mystery of the Divine relationship was so uncharacteristic to life here on earth. How were they to understand, when Yehoshua described this relationship as; “I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you?”

In the earthly sphere, we define a relationship between two individuals in terms of independent, individuality, and autonomous human characteristics. Yet “individuality” is not compatible with “spirituality”. In reality, “individuality” the hard protective outer “husk” that protects the inner spiritual person inside.

In the spiritual dominion, the “personality” is the signet characteristic of the inner, spiritual man. A personality describes a whole person as G0d is always described in terms defining His Total Person. The Hebrew mind saw a wholeness when describing the personality of the World of the Divine. They could not comprehend the Divine fragmented into parts.

It was independence and individuality that started the first rebellion in the angelic hosts by HaSatan. Was not Lucifer, one of the guardian cherubim that guarded the throne of G-d?

When Lucifer began to define himself as an individual or an autonomous being, he suddenly removed himself from the “Oneness” in the relationship with the World of the Divine and went into rebellion against the absolute Oneness of the Person of G-d.

Satan was no longer a part of the spiritual angelic dominions in heaven for he separated himself by his independent and autonomous behavior and took with himself a third of the angelic host in rebellion against the Almighty One of Israel.

It was those same characteristics that defined the rebellion of man, when Adam and Chavah (Eve) asserted their own independence by the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden.

The “oneness” of the spirit of loving fellowship between the Father and the Son was now being shared together between the heavenly spheres with all the disciples of Yehoshua here on this earth.

Yet, that hard, outer shell must be cracked open. Independence and individuality must be yielded and surrendered so that the inner spiritual person inside could participate and respond to inner calling of the Divine. When that happens, immediate freedom transforms the whole person and is portrayed by the acts of loving relationships. (John 14:13-23)

The “Helper” that Yehoshua promised to His disciples was the Ruach HaKodesh (Divine Spirit). This Divine Spirit would be sent by the Father down the “Pole of Grace” in Yehoshua’s Name. From the Helper the Nazarene Christians would receive future teachings and the remembrance of the things in which they had learned.

With His loving eyes piercing each of their own souls, Yehoshua turned to them and said,

John 14.27 – “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart by troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

The voice of Yehoshua then became somber and quiet. He warned them that very soon, He would become strangely quiet and no longer communicate freely with them as they were used to Him speaking.

He wanted them to understand that the atmosphere of oppressive evil was closing in around them. And He stated, “ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing against Me.” The hour of darkness was soon to come upon them. His warning to them was also a warning to his disciples at the time of the end. (John 14:25-31)

Yehoshua as the True Vine, the Father as the Vinedresser, and the Disciples as the Branches

As the future emissaries of the Davidian Messianic Prince gazed down from the sheltered upper terrace and looked out over the city of Jerusalem from the Mount called Zion, Yehoshua directed their minds to the “vineyard of Israel”.

He reminded them that He was the archetypical heavenly vine (de-vine), so on earth He was “the true vine” or the true representative of the heavenly vine. He also reminded them that His Father was the vinedresser.

Looking to each of His disciples, He said, “You are the branches.” If you “abide” or stay connected to the vine, you will bear a lot of lush and succulent fruit. If not, your branches will bear poor fruit or become barren.

If that happens, the Vinedresser will prune you so that you will “bear fruit”. If you do not bear fruit, this will represent that you are not connected with Yehoshua, the vine. The branches will be cut off, cast into the fire, and burned up. If they did bear much fruit, Yehoshua’s Father in heaven would be glorified. (John 15:1-8)

Yehoshua was a Hasidic orthodox Jewish rabbi, who proclaimed that “not one jot nor tittle” would pass from the Torah and kept every command above the letter of the Law (Torah). Once again the Davidian Prince of David, Yehoshua turned to his talmidim (disciples) and reaffirmed the core-essence of their Jewishness;

John 15:10-11 - “If you keep My mitzvoth (commandments) you shall stay in My ahava (love); even as I have kept My Abba’s (Father’s) mitzvot, and stay in His ahava. These things have I spoken to you, that My simcha (joy) might remain in you, and that your simcha (joy)might be full.”

The disciples were once again reaffirmed that the life of Torah living was affirmatively tied to the loving relationship between G-d and man. If they wanted to be “Torah observant friends” of Yehoshua HaMaschiach (Jesus the Messiah), they must follow His commands of living a life of harmony with His Father’s Torah.

What was this joy that Yehoshua had? The “joy in Yehoshua was not to be confused with the emotion called happiness. The “joy of Yehoshua” was His absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice in doing the express will of His Father in heaven.

When the Master’s Disciples Obey the Torah, They are called Friends of Yehoshua

The abundant life with joy flowing out like a fountain of water was not dependent upon physical circumstances, body health, a perfect understanding of G-d, nor even the success of G-d’s work in this world.

This joy was the affirmation of a fellowship of oneness with the L-rd. The physical irritants in this world would not affect this joy, for focusing on their physical cares would literally choke and starve this relationship with the divine.

When their lives reached a state of spiritual joy, Yehoshua would no longer call them bond-servants. He would instead call them “friends”. The real mysterious fact was revealed that they did not choose Yehoshua, but He chose them and appointed them to bear fruit and love one another. (John 15:9-17)

The Rejection by the World

There is one thing the world of individuality hates is for someone who is aberrant or outside the social norm of recognized “individual behavior”. Aberrant behavior is rejected and cast aside. This type of behavior can be those that are “too good” or “too bad”.

The Nazarene pointed this fact out to His disciples as they sat on the mats surrounding His sofa on the upper terrace. They were soon to see, within a few hours, the cost of being an aberration of society.

Because their Master had challenged the religious and social norms, and politically attacked the most powerful Sadducean family, the House of Ananias, Yehoshua was now the “most wanted” on the hit list of the high priests of Israel.

Yehoshua was very pointed to His disciples that if they chose to continue their relationship with He and His Father in heaven, they would become hated by the world. Why? They would be hated because the “the world loves its own”.

When they were to be persecuted, they would be persecuted for Yehoshua’s name. The fact that the “world” of the Sadducean leadership sought to persecute them, would be the revelation to the disciples that the temple leadership did not know the Almighty One of Israel.

The mission of the Nazarene stated many times in His ministry, was that He was “sent” to the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel”. These lost cousins to the Jewish people were lost in the assimilation within the nations of the gentile world.

The surprising fact was that the lost tribes of Israel were not even hunted or searched for by their own Jewish relatives. If they could be reconnected to the vineyard of Israel, they would have to be reconnected to the G-d of their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The “Lost Israelites of the House of Joseph” would become logistically “insiders” to the pagan gentile world who were still worshipping pagan planetary gods and idols of sticks and stones. A “Lost Israelite” reconnected to the vineyard of Israel could naturally infiltrate and infuse the seventy nations of the world with the knowledge of the Creator G--d of Israel.

Once the nations of the world knew who the Holy One of Israel was, they would have “no excuse for their sin”. The rulers of the nations of the world would obviously hate the true disciples of Yehoshua, just like the rulers of the Jewish people hated Yehoshua. Why!

Because HaSatan, the “the ruler of the world”, hates Yehoshua, and Satan was the ruler of the world of pagans and the Jewish leadership in rebellion to Him.

When the Great Drama of the Ages was completed on the Mount called Calvary, the Divine Spirit would be sent so that the G-d of Israel could testify about His Son; Yehoshua.

This Divine testimony would collaborate with the human testimony of Yehoshua’s disciples who would bear witness that they had been with the Nazarene “from the beginning” and the fruits of His ministry would be revealed in their lives, their actions, and by their verbal testimony in Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the world.

When the messianic followers of Yehoshua were persecuted, it will be because Jesus said that they “hated Me without a cause”.

The days of persecution would rapidly descend upon the disciples of Yehoshua. They would first be thrown out of the synagogues and their orthodox Jewishness would be rejected by the leadership of the Jews.

A pogrom would soon lash out against the Nazarenes by the Saul the Persecutor later known as the Apostle Paul in the persecution. This persecution was ordered by the High Priest Jonathan son of Ananias and as such the Nazarenes fled to Damascus.

Some of them would be killed by those who felt that killing them was for “G-d’s service”. The reality was, these Jewish temple leaders did not know the G-d of Israel but were servants of the “ruler of this world” and the dark forces of the spirit world. (John 15:18-27; 16:1-4)

The first of the human emotions that the disciples would feel when Jesus was leaving them was sorrow. This would be a natural response, but Yehoshua’s departure was to be a good thing. His mission was completed and now a new “Helper” would be sent for a special and specific task. He would be sent:

To “convict the world of sin,

To convict the world “of righteousness”, and

To convict the world “of the judgment to come”.

Even at this moment during the celebration the Passover, there were things to come that would be too hard and fearful to comprehend. The purpose of the Holy Spirit was to “guide you in all truth” and “tell you things to come”. Yet, was the Holy Spirit the Father in heaven? No! Like Yehoshua, the Holy Spirit could not speak on its own authority. The purpose of the Holy Spirit was to glorify Yehoshua and take those things that the Father gave to Yehoshua, the Holy Spirit would give to Yehoshua’s followers. (John 16:5-15)

Joy when We understand Yehoshua’s Plans for He has Overcome the World

The Master then warned His disciples, in a little while they would not see Him, then they would see Him. This was confusing to them. Did they not come to this Seder with the messianic expectations that the end of days was coming now?

Perhaps, they thought, the gates of heaven would break open this very night with the hosts of heaven pouring down upon this earth, the angelic hosts, the patriarchs, the mothers of Israel, the Prophets plus Moses and Jeremiah…all of them! In their apocalyptic imagination, they could see the light of heaven, that fiery light of creation, the light that the Almighty One of Israel kept concealed in heaven from the beginning of time, now bursting forth in glory, radiance, and with the brilliance of divine glory.

Yet, Yehoshua was talking about sorrow and not joy. He was talking about Him leaving them, but then their sorrow would be turned to joy. They would not see their Master, then they would see Him. This was a mystery that they were so puzzled over.

When Yehoshua would be taken away from them, Jesus told them, the Jewish and Roman world leaders would rejoice. Like the labor pain of a woman about to bear a child, the pangs of sorrow will be mixed with joys of expectation. Up to this point they had not asked anything of Yehoshua, but in that day, they will ask of the Father, in Yehoshua’s name. “Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”

The symbolic language was about to overwhelm Yehoshua’s disciples. Now, He would speak to them with the forcefulness of literal reality. “The hour has now come” that “you will be scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone…In the world, you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” They were sorrowful, elated, shocked, and now stunned. (John 16:16-33)

Yehoshua’s Prayer for His Coming Mission, and the Sanctification of His Disciples

Suddenly, Yehoshua in the Upper Terrace raised His eyes to His Heavenly Father saying:

John 17:1-19 (parts) - “Father the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true G-d, and Yehoshua HaMaschiach (Joshua the Messiah) whom You have sent…I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world.

I pray for them, I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours…I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.”

Yehoshua’s Prayer for the Unity of His Messianic Nazarene Believers

With His eyes ascended to His Father in heaven, Yehoshua closed with prayer not just to His own disciples, but to those who would become believers through the testimony of their word. He prayed for their unity, “that they all may be one, as you, Father, are in Me, and I in You: that they also may be one in Us…and the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one

With these final words, Yehoshua closed the Seder with a benediction. According to the traditions of the celebration of the Pesach Seder, the Psalms were then sung. It would be the last supper that Yehoshua would eat with all of His disciples. One of them would be lost, “the son of perdition (Judas), that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” There was one last desire of Yehoshua to His Father:

John 17:24 - “I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:20-26)

That evening, after the Pesach meal, Yehoshua and His disciples quietly stole out into the street within the Essene Quarter. The Master was cloaked in a white robe that shown with brilliance in the strong rays of the full moon lit night. Yehoshua was fatigued, wiping the sweat from His brow, for pouring out the last reserve of love for His disciples in the service of the Seder.

Together they walked down the slopes of the Mount of Zion beside the palatial guarded residence of the high priest, into the Hinnom Valley, over to the Kidron Valley to seek a place to sleep near the Village of Geshemonim. There in the grove of olives by the garden of the olive oil wine pressers, called the Garden of Gat Shemen, they found a private grassy meadow to settle down to rest.

There in the garden, Yehoshua spent the hours in agony until He was arrested by the traitorous kiss of His zealot disciple called Judas Iscariot, who would identify Yehoshua and become His accuser. Yehoshua was taken to the Palace of the High Priests on the eastern slopes of Mount Zion during the night of the eve of the Preparation Day.

The Rejection by the World

There is one thing the world of individuality hates is aberrant or outside the social norm of recognized “individual behavior”. Aberrant behavior is rejected and cast aside. This type of behavior can be those that are “too good” or “too bad”. Yehoshua pointed this fact out to His disciples as they sat on the mats surrounding His sofa on the upper terrace. They were soon to see, within a few hours, the cost of being an aberration of society. Because their Master had challenged the religious and social norms, and politically attacked the most powerful Sadducean family, the House of Ananus, Yehoshua was now the “most wanted” on the hit list of the high priests of Israel.

Yehoshua was very pointed to His disciples that if they chose to continue their relationship with He and His Father in heaven, they would become hated by the world. Why? They would be hated because the “the world loves its own”. When they were to be persecuted, they would be persecuted for Yehoshua’s name. The fact that the “world” of the Sadducean leadership sought to persecute them, would be the revelation to the disciples that the temple leadership did not know the Almighty One of Israel.

The mission of Yehoshua, stated many times in His ministry, was that He was sent to the “lost sheep of the House of Israel”. These lost cousins to the Jewish people were lost in the assimilation within the nations of the gentile world. The surprising fact was that the Lost tribes of Israel were not even hunted or searched for by their own Jewish relatives. If they could be reconnected to the vineyard of Israel, they would become reconnected to the Go- of their forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The lost Israelites of the House of Joseph would become logistically “insiders” to the pagan gentile world who were still worshipping pagan planetary gods and idols of sticks and stones. A “lost Israelite” reconnected to the vineyard of Israel could naturally infiltrate and infuse the seventy nations of the world with the knowledge of the Creator G-d of Israel.

Once the nations of the world knew who the Holy One of Israel was, they would have “no excuse for their sin”. The rulers of the nations of the world would obviously hate the true disciples of Yehoshua, just like the rulers of the Jewish people hated Yehoshua. Why! Because HaSatan, the “the ruler of the world”, hates Yehoshua, and Satan was the ruler of the world of pagans and the Jewish leadership in rebellion to Him.

When the messianic followers of Yehoshua were persecuted, it will be because Jesus said that they “hated Me without a cause”. When the Great Drama of the Ages was completed on the Mount called Calvary, the Holy Spirit would be sent so that the G-d of Israel could testify about His Son, Yehoshua. This Divine testimony would collaborate with the human testimony of Yehoshua’s disciples who would bear witness that they had been with Jesus “from the beginning” and the fruits of His ministry would be revealed in their lives, their actions, and by their verbal testimony in Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the world.

The days of persecution would rapidly descend upon the disciples of Yehoshua. They would first be thrown out of the synagogues and their orthodox Jewishness would be rejected by the leaders of the Jews. A pogrom would soon lash out against the Nazarenes by the Saulian persecution that was ordered by the High Priest Jonathan son of Ananias and had to flee to Damascus.

Some of them would be killed by those who felt that killing them was for “G-d’s service”. The reality was, these Jewish Sadducean temple leaders did not know the Go- of Israel but were servants of the “ruler of this world” and the dark forces of the spirit world. (John 15:18-27; 16:1-4)

The Work of the Divine Spirit

The first of the human emotions that the disciples would feel when Jesus was leaving them was sorrow. This would be a natural response, but Yehoshua’s departure was to be a good thing. His mission was completed and now a new “Helper” would be sent for a special and specific task. He would be sent:

To “convict the world of sin,

To convict the world “of righteousness”, and

To convict the world “of the judgment to come”.

Even at this moment during the celebration the Passover, there were things to come that would be too hard and fearful to comprehend. The purpose of the Holy Spirit was to “guide you in all truth” and “tell you things to come”. Yet, was the Holy Spirit the Father in heaven? No! Like Yehoshua, the Holy Spirit could not speak on its own authority. The purpose of the Holy Spirit was to glorify Yehoshua and take those things that the Father gave to Yehoshua, the Holy Spirit would give to Yehoshua’s followers. (John 16:5-15)

Joy when We understand Yehoshua’s Plans for He has Overcome the World

The Master then warned His disciples, in a little while they would not see Him, then they would see Him. This was confusing to them. Did they not come to this Seder with the messianic expectations that the end of days was coming now?

Perhaps, they thought, the gates of heaven would break open this very night with the hosts of heaven pouring down upon this earth, the angelic hosts, the patriarchs, the mothers of Israel, the Prophets plus Moses and Jeremiah…all of them! In their apocalyptic imagination, they could see the light of heaven, that fiery light of creation, the light that the Almighty One of Israel kept concealed in heaven from the beginning of time, now bursting forth in glory, radiance, and with the brilliance of divine glory.

Yet, Yehoshua was talking about sorrow and not joy. He was talking about Him leaving them, but then their sorrow would be turned to joy. They would not see their Master, then they would see Him. This was a mystery that they were so puzzled over.

The symbolic language was about to overwhelm Yehoshua’s disciples. Now, He would speak to them with the forcefulness of literal reality. “The hour has now come” that “you will be scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone…In the world, you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” They were sorrowful, elated, shocked, and now stunned. (John 16:16-33)

Yehoshua’s Prayer for His Coming Mission, and the Sanctification of His Disciples

Suddenly, Yehoshua in the Upper Terrace raised His eyes to His Heavenly Father saying:

John 17:1-19 (parts) - “Father the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true G-d, and Yehoshua HaMaschiach (Jesus (Joshua the Messiah) whom You have sent…I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world…I pray for them, I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours…I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” (John 17:1-19)

Yehoshua’s Prayer for the Unity of His Nazarene Messianic Believers

With His eyes ascended to His Father in heaven, Yehoshua closed with prayer not just to His own disciples, but to those who would become believers through the testimony of their word. He prayed for their unity, “that they all may be one, as you, Father, are in Me, and I in You: that they also may be one in Us…and the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one.”

With these final words, Yehoshua closed the Seder with a benediction. Per the traditions of the celebration of the Pesach Seder, the Psalms were then sung. It would be the last supper that Yehoshua would eat with all His disciples. One of them would be lost, “the son of perdition (Judas), that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” There was one last desire of Yehoshua to His Father:

John 17:24 - “I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:20-26)

That evening, after the Pesach meal, Yehoshua and His disciples quietly stole out into the street within the Essene Quarter. The Master was cloaked in a white robe that shown with brilliance in the strong rays of the full moon lit night. Yehoshua was fatigued, wiping the sweat from His brow, for pouring out the last reserve of love for His disciples in the service of the Seder.

Together they walked down the slopes of the Mount of Zion beside the palatial guarded residence of the high priest, into the Hinnom Valley, over to the Kidron Valley to seek a place to sleep near the village of Geshemonim. There in the grove of olives by the garden of the olive oil wine pressers, called the Garden of Gat Shemen, they found a private grassy meadow to settle down to rest.

There in the garden, Yehoshua spent the hours in agony until He was arrested by the traitorous kiss of His zealot disciple called Judas Ishcariot, who would identify Yehoshua and become His accuser. Yehoshua was taken to the Palace of the High Priests on the eastern slopes of Mount Zion in the midst of the night of the eve of the Preparation Day for the Passover, for imprisonment and interrogation by Ananus the Elder, the former high priest andPatriarch of the House of Ananus Ben Seth ben Boethus.

************

Seeing is believing! For over 2000 years, the world has been affixed with the drama of those few years of time that a single solitary Prince of the esteemed dynastic lineage of Kings David and Solomon shook up the then known world.

His life literally became a “Drama of the Ages” that evoked such a passion in the lives of not only the entire peasantry class of Jewish people, but his fame swept across the entire Middle East changing and transforming all the inhabitants of that era.

It has been stated in hundreds of different cultures that the world as we know today would be totally different if it were not for this one life, for out of his one life, one who was a Neshama Yehudi (Jewish soul) affected so many variant cultures that out of his spiritual loins rose Three Major Religions of the world; Judaism, Christianity and over six hundred years later Islam.

The era of man is standing now on the brink of the seashore waiting to be passed through the inter dimensional veil of the “World to Come.” The day is coming soon when we will break through that inter dimensional barrier and stand on the beach of a “New World” and a “New Age” as the rising Light of the age called the “Era of the Messiah” raises to its glorious manifestation.

The day is coming soon when Hashem the One G-d of Israel will stretch forth His great hand of judgment and cleanse the earth from the great pollution of man upon Planet Earth. He will take away the “blood oaths” from between the mouths of the Palestinian Arabs, He will restore the Land of Israel back to “Am Yisra’el”, that means both the House of Joseph (All Ten Tribes of the House of Israel), and the House of Judah.

He will then redeem and restore His own “sheep” back into a living relationship with Himself. If you are chosen, as a Lost Tribal Member of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, your destiny is to return to your Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and Christian 10-Triber Vision to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This Supernal Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.

Looking at the Death of the Prince of David called Yehoshua HaNotzri (Jesus the Nazarene) from the Perspective of historical First Century Judaism

(Church with the Upper Room and King David’s Tomb) with the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu over the site of the Palace of the High Priests, Ananias and Caiphas., the Site of Yehoshua’s Interrogation Proceedings

By Robert Mock M.D.

Written first in April (Passover) 2007

The Cosmic Anguish in Heaven

Nineteen hundred and sixty-seven years ago on April 5, 30 CE, the most cataclysmic and action packed drama occurred in the city of Jerusalem. There on a tree, some called the “Almond tree of Aaron’s rod”, hung the body of a young Jewish rabbi. He was discipled under the teachings of Hillel the Great and Menahem the Essene, the former Nasi (“President”) and Av Beis Din (“Father of the Court”) of the Great Sanhedrin between the dates of 30 to 20 BCE.

The young Prince of David Yehoshua Ha Notzri (Jesus the Nazarene) was a world traveler in His youth with his great uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, that Roman Decurion in charge by the Emperor of Rome to oversee the “Saracens” or Jewish miners at the Cornish tin mines in southern Britain. Joseph was also a member of the Roman Provincial Council of Judea and the esteemed Elder who apparently sat on the hereditary seat of King David in the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem as the most noble of the authentic Princes of Kings David and Solomon.

Now the greatest drama was almost over, or only just begun, as this young rabbi that had led a reformation to change the entire Jewish temple culture appeared to have been destroyed by the temple hierarchy of the House of Ananus and all their Sadducean kinsmen from the House of Boethus.

He had sought to change the religious attitude of the brooding Pharisees of the School of Shammai into a spiritual revival to elevate them to the “kingdom of G-d on earth” and the throne of His Father in heaven.

From a human point of view, this supreme sacrifice appeared to be a futile gesture of a failed mission for his only testimony was that he was to carry the “Good News” to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. Without such a mission accomplished, they could not open the gates to the Gentiles with the divine understanding about the G-d of Creation; who was the G-d of Israel.

Here was the dream of that great jurist, Hillel the Great, who as the president (nasi) of the Sanhedrin, sought to bring the concept of the Almighty One of Israel to the gentiles of the world, not just to the small remnant of the ancient Israelites who received their covenant at Sinai.

Had not this rabbi been proclaimed to be the messiah of his generation, not to the 70 Gentile Nations but rather he was sent by HaShem, his Heavenly Father to find Yehoshua’s Lost 10-Tribal cousins of the House of Israel?

Matthew 15:24 – “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael.”

Did not this rabbi receive the pronouncement of the Supreme pleasure of His Father in heaven where in a mikveh immersion in the waters of the Jordan River, he was baptized by John (Yohannes) the Baptizer, his cousin, an Essene and heard the words:

Matthew 3:17 - “This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”.

Did not this rabbi follow the ways of Torah to the “letter of the law”? Did He not preach a message that “no jot nor tittle” will be taken away from the Torah?

Did He not also take the commands of Torah and follow them as a Hasidim, fulfilling not only the Torah to the letter of the law but beyond the letter of the law to their ultimate spiritual fulfillment?

Matthew 5:17-18 – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law (Torah) or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the Law (Torah) till all is fulfilled.”

It was his disciples (talmidim), patterned after the ancient schools of the prophets, that fulfilled the mission of the Essenes; formed an oppositional temple hierarchy that worshipped in the temple of Herod with a non-animal sacrificial ritual, and created the Nazarene Sanhedrin, named after their Master, Yehoshua Ha Notzri (called the “Nazarene”).

The Nazarene Sanhedrin gave governance in a manner that emulated the government of the “Kingdom of Heaven” that their Master lived, preached, and portrayed during His ministry in Galilee and Judea.

Now the angelic archons in the heavens along with the mighty seven archangels that commanded the seven emanations of the Divine to all the created worlds, hung their heads in suspense as they watched this inter-galactic drama between the emissary of the Divine One, who sent His Son on a rescue mission to the last or the remnant of His covenanted and chosen people.

Had the Jewish people not been co-opted and were now controlled by the globalist forces of Rome (Edom) with the “face” of Hellenistic Greece? Had not the Maccabean defenders fought over the desecrated temple, about one hundred sixty years earlier (40 x 4) prior to the birth of this babe destined to be their messiah? Did they not bravely fight to preserve the last vestige of Hebrew-Israeli culture from being destroyed by the Grecian tyrant, Antiochus Epiphanes IV?

Was it not Antiochus who sought to eradicate the last vestige of Jewish covenanted culture (circumcision, Sabbath (Shabbat) worship and temple festival celebrations) and substitute it with Hellenistic culture in the city of Jerusalem?

Was not this Hellenistic culture absorbed into the Roman global force that was seeking to control the whole world? Are not these the same shadow pictures we follow closely today as the times of tribulation progress before our eyes?

This “Passover Drama” was ordained in the Supreme Council in Heaven before the creation of this orb in our solar system. While the heart of the true follower of HaShem, the G-d of Israel, yearns and seeks salvation, the idea of salvation is not man’s idea, it is the idea of G-d from the unfathomable depth of love for His creation.

Hebrews 1:1-4 – “G-d, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days (yamim acharonim) spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds (olamim); who being the brightness of His glory and the express image (sefirot) of His Person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels (heavenly Malachim), as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent Name than they.”

Salvation is not an experience for man. Salvation is the “door” by which salvation comes into the consciousness of man’s life and elevates us to a higher level of experience while at the same time opening our eyes to a divine reality on a much deeper level.”

There the mighty seven archangels that had been created in the Creation of the Spirit Worldnow stood witness to that inter-galactic “Big Bang” that brought the unfathomable energies of the Divine One of the ten dimensions and ten emanations through the creation vortex like a divine black hole.

Here, through the Tiferet of the Sefirot, the Divine Image of the Almighty One of Israel became the “funnel cloud” by the creative powers of the “Father”.

Here the ancient sages of Judah in their mystical Merkabah journeys witnessed Metatron, (YHVH Elohim) the “‘Angel before the Presence’ of the Almighty One of Israel”.

In the seventh heaven, the other “Sons of G-d” that reigned as the Supreme Elders in the Council of the Universes (Revelation 4:4) also watched with bated breath. It was one of their own, Adam, who lost His seat in the heavenly council by Satan (HaSatan) who was now roaming this planet earth like a roaring lion. (Job 2:6, I Peter 5:8)

As HaSatan walked back and forth over the face of the earth, seeking to incite G-d against those who love Him (Job 2:9), the “Eyes” of the Lord G-d were roaming to and fro over the face of the earth showing Himself strong in defense of those who are loyal to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9)

Now this lifeless figure of Yehoshua was hanging on a mere splinter of wood in a manner of being accursed of G-d. (Deuteronomy 21:20-24) He was now trapped as hostage in this world of three-dimensional space.

The Jewish people earlier had cried out in adoration and acclamation as the real and living Pesach Lamb rode down the street of Jerusalem like a newly arrived king on the back of a donkey. They shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David, Blessed is He who comes in the Name of our L-rd, Hosanna in the Highest!” (Matthew 21:9)

Now these same pilgrim followers cried and wretched in agony as they and the whole universe witnessed the fury of the Divine over the denial by the aristocratic Sadducee high priestly family of the House of Ananus and the whole Sadducean House of Boethus, Camydus, Cantherus, and Phabi. They were the unworthy descendants of their revered ancestor, Zadok, the high priest of King David. It was they and their adherents and accomplices, the Pharisaic disciples of the School of Shammai who conspired in killing the emissary and “Son” of HaShem (“The Name”), they called their Own, but rejected rather His own.

The Arraignment – A Travesty in Jewish Jurisprudence

It was a travesty of Jewish jurisprudence that the arrest and arraignment of Jesus the Nazarene (Yehoshua haNotzri) even occurred. It would not be until this modern era after the rise of National Israel that we would see such a travesty in justice when Jewish national leaders, called the “Erev Rav” would ally themselves with Rome and turn against their own orthodox Jewish brethren.

Today this has been replicated when the globalist government of Israel selectively began marking for elimination the orthodox rabbis who honor the Torah and decry the western economic stranglehold on the Jewish Nation of Israel.

Is not this the same government that cast out the Torah observing Israeli families from their homes and businesses in Gaza in hopes for peace with Hamas (“violence” in Hebrew) and the Arafat’s Palestinian protégées, the modern Amaleks of today?

The testimony is clear that the Jewish temple leadership feared this Davidian rabbi called Prince Yehoshua ben Yosef (Jesus the son of Joseph) as stated in the historical record:

Mark 11:18, 12:12 – “And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching…And they sought to lay hands on Him but feared the multitude for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left and went away.”

Luke 22:2 – “Now, the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called, Passover. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill Him, for they feared the people.”

The power that Rabbi Yehoshua wielded in Jewish religious and political life was phenomenal. Yehoshua was only a potential nuisance to the Sadducean temple leadership and Shammaite Pharisees if His mission was kept in the regions surrounding Galilee.

Here was the nesting ground for Hashmonean royal aspirants and the hotbed for rebel revolts by the Davidian princes of the lineage of Kings David and Solomon were fighting against the Roman government rule.

When the ministry of the Nazarene moved into Judea and Jerusalem, the Davidian Prince Nazarene became a rival to the power and authority against the corrupt Sadducean aristocracy who held the rights to the high priestly temple authority.

He boldly challenged not the authority but the hypocrisy of the Shammaite Pharisees who set up rigid standards on how to follow the Torah, but did not follow their own standards.

These were the same disciples who had usurped the mantle of spiritual authority in the Land of Israel from the Pharisee disciples of the revered Hillel the Elder and Menahem the Essene.

Who notified the high priest in Jerusalem of the non-orthodox appearing pregnancy of Mary and Joseph.

Ananus was the high priest in 6 CE when the young Prince Yehoshua went on his bar mitzvoth year Passover and was questioned by the chief priests and elders of Judah.

It was later Ananus the Elder, who was the father-in-law of the high priest, Caiphas, who sentenced Prince Yehoshua to death.

Ananus was the father of Jonathan the high priest who sentenced Stephen the deacon of the Hebrew Nazarene Ecclesia to death.

Ananus the Elder was the father of Ananus the Younger, the high priest who now sentenced Yehoahua’s’ brother, James the Just, to death and had his bludgeoned body thrown over the temple parapet to the Kidron Valley below.

The House of Ananus (House of the High Priest Ananias the Great) had created the greatest money laundering business in the eastern regions of the Roman Empire along the Mediterranean Sea Seaboard.

It was also the most corrupt Jewish government in Jewish history as some rabbis have proclaimed, till the final era of earth’s as they descended into the 49th level of degradation, called Tuma. The vast wealth that flowed into the Temple of Herod was totally within their hands.

It was also the most corrupt Jewish government in Jewish history as some rabbis have proclaimed, till the final era of earth’s as they descended into the 49th level of degradation, called Tuma. The vast wealth that flowed into the Temple of Herod was totally within their hands.

When Yehoshua for the second time strode into the temple and threw out the money-changers (Matthew 21:12; Mark 11:15), the entire buying and selling of oxen, sheep and doves halted in the temple Bazaars of Hanan. It was a political attack at the heart of the entire corrupt temple economic culture.

The “Erev Rav and the “Golden Calf culture” had risen again, this time not at Sinai but in the heart of the House of the Lord. The Erev Rav, called the “mixed multitude, at Sinai had again returned as Jewish leaders, pandering after their Edomite (Roman) overlords, so that the gold of the Jews would buy them power and prestige with the Roman government.

We are first introduced to a young priestly scribe, Annas, who appeared on the religio-political scene as the accuser of Mary’s apparent conception outside of wedlock. He cast doubt on the former “temple virgin” as whether she had broken her vows and now deserved to be stoned to death.

During the era of this temple scribe, Ananias, who would later become the High Priest of Israel, was also living in the same era in which the young and orphaned Princess of David, Miriam, the grand-daughter of Jesus II the High Priest and the daughter of Prince Alexander III Helios who also was a Prince of David and was also a Maccabean Prince, known as Prince Alexander Helios (Sun) as recorded in the historical Book of Luke called Heli.

The High Priest and the Davidian prince were both on the “wanted list” to be exterminated by the long arm of justice of the paranoid and evil, King Herod the Great. It was King Herod the Great who sought to destroy every Prince of David in the ancient land of Judea earlier called Roman Palestine (not Arab Palestine) for inciting rebellion against King Herod.

This was because Rome wanted the Land of Israel and the Princes of David who became the oppositional leaders against King Herod and Rome from having complete control over the ancient Roman Judea.

In this highly contested region of the world, a young Davidian Jewish Prince Joseph (Yosef) became the father to a young Davidian Princess, Miriam, whose maternal grandfather was Jesus III the High Priest (Yehoshua III Ha Kohen Hagadol) in the Temple of Herod in Jerusalem. Is it any wonder that Yehoshua was so popular in the 1st century CE at the height of the 1st century Temple of King Herod culture?

These facts may shock some people to know that Jesus III, son of Fabus or Fabet or Phiabi,was also Joshua ben Fabus the High Priest of Israel, He was known as Yehoshua Ha Gadol or Yehoshua III the High Priest. Jesus III the High Priest was also the grandfather of the young Davidian Prince called in modern times, “Jesus of Nazareth”.

It is also profoundly true that the era of King Herod and the 1st century CE swirled around the highly sought and contested Prince of David called “Jesus of Nazareth” for it was he who was now also potential heir to become the High Priest (Ha Gadol) in the Temple of King Herod and a potential heir to the Throne of Kings David and Solomon in Jerusalem.

These amazing facts depict that the young Davidian prince, Yehoshua, rejected the kingship and instead became a classical rabbinic sage whose words of divine wisdom are more known than any other Jewish person on 1st century Judea.

It is true, the first High Priest during the Great Emancipation of the Jews by King Cyrus the Great at the beginning of the temple service in the Temple of Zerubabbel was Yehoshua I Ha Kohen Hagadol (Jesus I the High Priest) as written about in the first chapter of the prophetic Book of Zechariah.

About three centuries later after the inauguration of the Temple of Zerubabbel, the Davidian Princess Miriam (Mary, the mother of Jesus) was confronted by a young temple scribe and almost caused her death for charging her for breaking the strict rules that governed the dynastic conception of the Davidian heirs apparent to rule over the House of King David. Even more severe, she was charged with breaking her Torah vows.

By the time of the young Davidian, Yehoshua’s bar mitzvoth, if our name similarities give us our link, this young priest called Ananias had now moved unto the throne of the high priest.

Ananias’ family was a powerful high priestly family, the son of Seth, the grandson of Boethus, of the House of Zadok, the high priest of David. Ananias (Ananus the Elder) became the founding father of the powerful Sadducean family that bribed and purchased the possession of the office of the high priest and kept it within their family for the next forty four out of sixty years until the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple of Herod.

By graft, bribes, power, and influence, these families of the aristocracy bought and sold the office of the high priest from the Roman government. They in turn made the Office of the Procurator in Caesarea one of the wealthiest appointed Roman authorities in the entire empire. For the next fifty years, the House of Ananius the High Priest and the House of Davidian family of Jesus would struggle for the heart and soul of the Jewish people.

To comprehend the significance of the historical importance of Jesus the Nazarene, we must understand the drawing power of His charismatic spiritual message. The most fervent followers of His resided in the southeastern corner of the city of Jerusalem on the crest of the Mount called today, Zion. Here in the Essene Quarters was the Ultra-Orthodox haven called the “Third Party” of first century Judaism. Radical, mystical, pious, apocalyptic, and sectarian, the Essenes have always remained a mystery.

The “Last Supper” in the House with the Upper Terrace

The Essenes for centuries truly had been an enigma. They were cloistered in reclusive communes from Damascus to Qumran along the Dead Sea, upwards to Galilee and down into Egypt. The messianic vision in first century Judaism was driven by the apocalyptic dreams of the Essene mystics. These same Essene mystics were highlighted in the Destination Yisrael article, titled “The Qumran Essene Traditions of Enoch and Metatron as King Messiah”

The comprehension of the Essenes of the higher realms of the heaven was far more advanced than the Sadducee and Pharisee culture who were seeking power, greed, and control in the Temple culture of the era of King Herod the Great.

The Essene Quarter in Jerusalem had its own gate so that purity laws of cleanliness could be kept to its fullest details. The guardians of the Essenes had the primary mission; to protect the Tomb of their forefather King David and to protect the sacred lineage of any Davidian heir that could be the potential future messiah and heir to the throne of David. The Nazarene was one of those Davidian prince heirs whom the Essenes guarded with watchful eyes.

Is it of any wonder that the site for the beginning festivities of the Passover for Yehoshua and his disciples (talmidin) was selected under such mysterious circumstances? They were to watch for a male “water carrier” who would lead them to the secret and sacred spot later called the House with the Upper Room. Here is the first clue; in first century Judea. Essene males did not carry large water jugs on their head. That was the role of the women.

As the disciples were being shown to the upper terrace where they would celebrate, they scattered so as not to be noticed, for this event was kept in strict secrecy and known to only a selected few.

In the tradition of the Jewish Pesach festival, that morning, Simon bar Jonah (Simon Peter), Yohannes (John), and Yacov (James) went to the temple bazaars to purchase a lamb. Nowhere was the Rabbi to be found. Then they, with the other disciples along with thousands of Jewish pilgrims, streamed into the Upper City with their lambs and kids, in haste to fulfill the commands of the Lord.

There they entered the Temple of Herod and went to the court of Israel. Up the fifteen steps to the Nicanor Gate, and through the large opened bronze Hekel doors they could see the temple trumpeters blowing their silver trumpets in proclamation that the time for the slaughtering of the lambs had come. Beyond the Nicanor Gate, in the court of the Priests, a great fire was burning on the Great Altar that was erected before the Holy Place of the Temple.

Behind the priests with their silver shofars irradiated by the gleaming sun, were two long rows of Levites, dressed in shimmering white linen garments. These two rows went from the place of sacrifice in the court of women to the Great Altar and back.

As permission was granted, the pilgrims entered with their sacrifice, two by two, and were ushered to the other side of the Court of Women to perform their sacrifice. Two of the disciples, Peter with the lamb, and John, carrying the knife, approached the place of sacrificial block.

In route, they walked pass the long rows of Levites that were passing, hand to hand, golden beakers that were broad at the mouth and narrow at the rim. As Peter laid his lamb on the sacrificial block, the priest quickly slit the vessels of the neck. One drop of blood fell into the golden beaker. The rest of the blood drained through a hole in the sacrificing block down the drains lined with lead from the Mendip mines in Cornwall, England to the garden district below the temple.

Then the golden beaker was passed, from Levite to Levite, until it reached the officiating Priest standing before the altar, who sprinkled it on the great fire. When finished, the golden beaker was sent down a second row of Levites back to the place of sacrifice.

Yohannes, now with the lamb, wrapped in a sheet, resting on his shoulder with Simon bar Jonah behind, left the court of the Priests and walked down the three steps to the court of Israel. In route, they passed by musical ensembles of priests with hand harps, timbrels, and flutes raising their voices in adoration to the Almighty One of Israel as the blood of the lambs was sprinkled on the great altar.

Below in the Court of Men, the rest of the disciples of the Prince of David, Yehoshua HaNotzri called the “Nazarene”, bowing their heads in worship and adoration singing, “Hallelujah, praise ye the Lord, praise Him, His servants, praise the name of the Lord” in antiphonal rhythm with other pilgrims singing, “Praised be the name of the Lord from this day for ever and ever.”

Following the narrow streets of the Lower City, they went to the Mount called Zion. There they found the unknown man posing as a watercarrier. With a sign of recognition, separately, they entered unnoticed, one by one, into the house with the upper terrace, prepared to cook the young lamb on the three-legged stove while enjoying the beautiful vistas of the entire city.

Another unusual event was occurring. As strange as it may seem, the entire terrace of celebration was fully prepared for its noble guest and disciples. In secrecy, with no one else was in attendance, the disciples were to spend the afternoon in celebration with their Master. When the Master finally arrived, the historical drama began to unfold.

How He arrived, or when where He came from, will also be left untold. What is known, Yehoshua was a hunted man. The temple rulers with their hired servants and spies were on the lookout for the Rabbi of Galilee that the high priest had warned with a veiled threat would be at the Pesach celebrations.

John 11:47-54 (parts) – “Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, ‘What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take

away both our place and nation.’ And one of them, Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them, ‘You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish?

Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Yehoshua would die for the nation and that He would gather together in one the children of G-d who were scattered abroad. Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death. Therefore, the Nazarene no longer walked openly among the Jews…”

Hidden in the guarded section of the Essene District, the Master plus His twelve, ascended a shielded flight of steps that led to an upper terrace, in accustom to the building styles of the region. Over the terrace was a canopy of thin bamboo rushes with a tapestry of dried out palm leaves forming a canopy of protection from the elements of the sun and rain, and a protective panoramic view of the holy city of Jerusalem.

The temple was to the northwest. The walls of the city were to the south and east. The Palace of Herod and the Praetorian of the Romans was to the north and northwest.

The Palace of the High Priest was nearby, outside the Essene Quarters, to the west on the slopes looking down upon the Kidron Valley below. From there, an elevated walkway went from the palace and the homes of elite to the temple complex, to shield the aristocracy from the masses of peasant rabble below. Here the Prince of David Yehoshua would be kept in guarded protective custody of the guardians of the Tomb of David, and shielded from the eyes of any prying onlookers below.

Upon the patio terrace, preparations had been made by a third party of unknown secret followers of the Nazarene. Silk tapestries and curtains were hung over and shielded the patio fence. Towards one end of the terrace, a canopy was erected where beneath a couch was placed for the Master with reed matting as places to sit for the twelve disciples.

Planks of wood on risers formed a low table that was overlaid with fine coverings. Vessels for food, earthenware cups for drinking. Per secret tradition an alabaster vessel was strategically placed on the table as a gift from His uncle, the Prince of David, Joseph of Arimathea, the rich man in Jerusalem. It was he who as the leading Prince of David of his age, sat in the hereditary seat of Kings David and Solomon as an esteemed “Elder” in the Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem.

Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy Jewish magnate who was a metal merchant with the contract from the Caesar of Rome. He mined lead and tin in the mines located in the Cornwall coast of Ancient Britannia, by ancient Jewish miners called Saracens in mines called “Jew Huts” for lead and tin were the strategic military metals needed for the Roman Imperial War machine who sought to control the nations of the world.

Specially prepared fresh unleavened matzah was laying upon an earthenware pottery with greens and herbs to dress the meal along with baskets of fruit. Bowls of water were carefully placed for the ceremonial washing of the hands.

Earthenware basins with amphora of water was placed nearby for the washing of the dusty feet. Delicate spices were sprinkled on the napkins and handkerchiefs. Incense was lit in a covered dish, nearby to the Rabbi’s couch. The lamps were trimmed with oil.

Everything was carefully and meticulously prepared in loving attention to exact and specific details by what we can only suspect to have been the disciples of Nicodemus and the servants of Joseph of Arimathea.

Was the Last Supper a Pesach Meal?

Per one scholar, the “Last Supper” was not a Pesach meal for its non-halakhic Torah atmosphere during the meal, precluded such a fact. There was no Korban lamb that was eaten and the bread was “sopped” during the meal which suggested that it was leavened bread.

John 13:26 – “Jesus answered, “’It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.’ And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.”

This may have been a preparatory meal for the upcoming Passover to plan for the Passover celebration. It would truly become the “Last supper” that Davidic Rabbi called the “Nazarene” would eat with his talmidei before leaving his 3-dimensional body and returning to his 4th dimensional elevated state of messianic consciousness when later His glorified being began to glow in later encounters like the ancient Edenic Light Beings called Adam and Chavah (Eve).

Here Yehoshua only lifted up the third 3rd Passover Seder cup, the cup of redemption. He then proclaimed that the next time that He would return to this planet earth, He would share the 4th Passover Seder cup with them. At that time, they would celebrate that moment when G-d “would take His own people” and redeem them again into the Promise Land at the “end of days.”

When we read in the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, it suggests that the Passover meal was the Last Supper, yet the Gospel of John states that the messianic Prince of David, Yehoshua Ha Notzri was crucified before the Passover.

Matthew 26:17 – “Now on the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Breadthe disciples came to Jesus, saying to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover.”

Mark 14:12 – “Nowon the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, ‘Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?

Luke 22:7-8 – “Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed.”

John 13:1 – “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Yehoshua (Jesus) knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Yehoshua, knowing that the “Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from G-d and was going to G-d, rose from the supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.”

As our knowledge of the first century Provincia Iudaea (Province of Judah) matures, we begin to find that the controversies of how to observe the Torah (halakha) were as dynamic as they are today. Maybe this is one reason, Torah sages suggest that in the “days of Jesus”, as it is today, the state of spiritual connection with the G-d of Israel was in the lowest state of spirituality, or at the 49th level of Tuma.

Halakhah (how to keep the Torah commands), though rigid, was not universally observed by all. As such, in the days of Yehoshua, (Jesus, Joshua) at least three, and possibly four different times, the Passover Seder Seders were held. These times were accepted respectfully by the Sadducees, the Pharisees, the Essenes, and the Jewish pilgrims from the Galilean and the Babylonian Diaspora.

The second solution suggests that there were two different calendars, the “sunset” calendar of the Pharisees and the “sunrise” calendar of the Sadducees.

The third solution suggests that the Last Supper was held on the solar Jubilee Calendar of the Essenes in the Synoptic Gospels. In John’s (Yohannes) own account, the Last Supper was to have held according to the lunar sunrise calendar of the Sadducee Temple calendar.

Then there was a fourth solution, that the “Passover” was an idiom, or a figure of speech that included the Passover as the whole week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Pope Benedict XVI – “"In the narrations of the Evangelists, there is an apparent contradiction between the Gospel of John, on one hand, and what, on the other hand, Matthew, Mark and Luke tell us.

Per John, the disciple of Jesus, the Nazarene died on the cross precisely at the moment in which, in the temple, the Passover lambs were being sacrificed. His death and the sacrifice of the lambs coincided and collided.

This means that the Prince of David Yehoshua (Joshua) died on the eve of Passover, and that, therefore, he could not have personally celebrated the paschal supper, at least this is what it would seem… Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples probably according to the calendar of Qumran, that is to say, at least one day earlier -- he celebrated without a lamb, like the Qumran community who did not recognize the Temple of Herod and was waiting for a new temple."

He went on to suggest that “Yehoshua” may have celebrated the Passover according to the solar calendar of the Qumran Essenes, who always celebrated their Passovers on the eve of Wednesday (Tuesday evening). The fact that the Essenes were vegetarians, is also suggested to be accepted by the Synoptic Gospels as part of the narrative of the Last Supper.”

It was in February, 2005 that BibleSearchers Reflections posted a series of articles titled, “Study in the Israeli-Vatican Diplomatic Relations that will Lead to the Prophetic Fulfillment of “On that day, all Nations will Seek to Surround Jerusalem.”

The lead article was, “The Vatican Seek to Reclaim its Own – “The Church with the Upper Room”. In this series of three articles, was the detailed historical summary of the Roman Catholic bid to take control of the holy sites in Jerusalem. The first bid was take possession of the Church with the Upper Room that was transformed into its present Gothic architectural structure by the Franciscan monks in the 13th century.

When Ariel Sharon resisted, and refused to turn the title of the building that housed the “Church with the Upper Room” plus the Tomb of David to the Roman Catholic Church in the winter of 2006, he found himself put into the state of the “living death” in the Israeli Hadassah Hospital by the “avenging angel of the Lord”.

On October 25, 2005, when Vatican came calling to the President of Israel, Moshe Katsav, and Katsav refused to deal with the Vatican, by July 2006, allegations began to surface that led to the threat of indictment against President Katsav of sexual harassment, breach of trust, obstruction of justice, and fraud.

Are we seeing the Vatican making the appearance of returning to their Jewish roots to complete the bid to divide the city of Jerusalem, finally take possession of holy sites in Jerusalem, and eventually the entire Temple Mount?

As early as 1550 BCE, the Hebrews living in Egypt were in the throes of a major catastrophic era that catapulted them into to a new era: redemptions from slavery and restoration to the Land promised to their forefather, Abraham. This was the land of Canaan in the land of Israel today.

On the day of redemption, when the “blood” of the slain lamb was sprinkled on the door post, the “first born” of that family was saved from the avenging angel of death passing over Egypt. The march to a new life also began with eating of the paschal lamb on that first Passover. While the Passover is HaShem’s Passover(Exodus 12:11, Leviticus 23:5, Numbers 28:16, and II Chronicles 35:1), we can also call it the Hebrew’s Passover.

Almost a thousand years later, the remnant of the Hebrews was being redeemed from their 70 years of bondage in Babylon and Persia. Here the Judeans (Jews) from the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin returned to resettle Jerusalem. Now, new ways of observing the Torah festivals were instituted and with it the Passover Seder as we know it today.

The modern Torah Seder is not the same that the Hebrews observed while in Egypt and the Sinai desert. Babylonian influence, such as the Seder egg, crept into the more primitive Palestinian Seder rites that soon disappeared after being augmented by the influence of the Babylonian Haggadah. In a way, we can call the modern Passover Seder a Jewish festival where the instructions on how to practice or perform this Seder is spelled out in instructional manuals, called “The Haggadah”.

Leviticus 23:5-6 – “On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord.” (See also Numbers 28:16-17)

When Moshe (Moses) was in Egypt, he was given special instructions that the Israelites were notto hold a festival in the land of Egypt. Therefore, Moses went to the Pharaoh seeking permission to go to the land of Goshen so that the Israelites could a festival.

Exodus 5:1 – “Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, ’thus says the L-rd G-d of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”

Why was such a strange command given by G-d to Moses? Was it His divine purpose just to say, “I won’t permit it?” The reality appears that HaShem, the G-d of Israel did have a divine purpose for He intended to deal with the Pharaoh, the representative of Egypt’s divine god, Ra, person to Person. He did not want the Israelites to become involved, so that none of them would be hurt or killed.

A festival by the Israelites in Egypt would have been offensive to the Egyptian priesthood. The festivals would have been celebrated with animal sacrifices and grain sacrifices, yet the Egyptians worshipped the animals and the grains as their deities. It was these deities that the Israelites were going to sacrifice to the G-d of Israel. Such an act would have been detestable with the Egyptian priests of Ra and could have provoked the death warrant for Moses and many Hebrews.

Exodus 8:25-26 – “Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, ‘Go, sacrifice to your G-d in the land.’ And Moses said, ‘It is not right to do so, for we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to the L-rd our G-d. If we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, then will they not stone us? We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the L-rd our G-d as He will command us.’”

Was not the goddess of Hathor in Dendura portrayed as the sacred cow? Was not the sacred bull that was worshipped as Apis, the actual embodiment of Ptah, Atum-Ra, and later Osiris to the Egyptians?

These bulls were housed in the temple for their entire life, then embalmed, and given their funerary rites while being encased in giant monolithic stone sarcophagi in the Serapeum at Saqqara.

Even the grain sacrifices of the Hebrews would have been offensive, for Nepri was the grain god, Ermutet was the goddess of the crops, and the jackal-headed Anubis was the guardian of the fields. Above all, was Osiris, a member of the Egyptian sacred trinity, was the god of agriculture. Now the Israelites were going to sacrifice the Egyptian gods to the Almighty One of Israel.

Yet, the Passover was held in Egypt. Why? The Passover was a memorial, not a festival, to an event that occurred in Egypt. It would also point to a more profound event that would occur in the future. The mood of Passover was symbolized by pain and suffering. On the afternoon of the 14th day of Nisan, the Hebrews were to sacrifice their favorite unblemished lamb, the best of their flock.

For the Hebrews, who did have faith (emuna) in the sovereignty of their G-d, the blood of this lamb was to literally “save” the firstborn sons of their family and the firstborn of all their sheep, goats, and cattle. It was take a lot of faith, emuna, to believe their Sovereign G-d in asking them to do such an incomprehensible task; slay the lamb, take the blood and put it on the doorpost of their dwelling and their firstborn sons and animals would be saved from death.

The shadow-picture in Egypt to the Israelites was now about to see its complete fulfillment sixteen hundred years, or 40 generations later. Only a few hours after the Last Supper, the “Only Begotten” firstborn “Son of G-d” would be impaled, like the Korban lamb, His blood splattered on the upright wooden tree (stake) so that all the world, who had “emuna” (faith) in the sovereign One G-d of Israel would be saved from eternal death.

John 3:16 – “For HaShem, the One G-d of Israel so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For G-d did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.

************

Seeing is believing! For over 2000 years, the world has been affixed with the drama of those few years of time that a single solitary Prince of the esteemed dynastic lineage of Kings David and Solomon shook up the then known world at that time.

His life literally became a “Drama of the Ages” that evoked such a passion in the lives of not only the entire peasantry class of Jewish people, but his fame swept across the entire Middle East changing and transforming all the inhabitants of that era.

It has been stated in hundreds of different cultures that the world as we know today would be totally different if it were not for this one life, for out of his one life, one who was a Neshama Yehudi (Jewish soul) affected so many variant cultures that out of his spiritual loins rose Three Major Religions of the world; Judaism, Christianity and over six hundred years later Islam.

The era of man is standing now on the brink of the seashore waiting to be passed through the inter dimensional veil of the “World to Come.” The day is coming soon when we will break through that inter dimensional barrier and stand on the beach of a “New World” and a “New Age” as the rising Light of the age called the “Era of the Messiah” raises to its glorious manifestation.

The day is coming soon when Hashem the One G-d of Israel will stretch forth His great hand of judgment and cleanse the earth from the great pollution of man upon Planet Earth. He will take away the “blood oaths” from between the mouths of the Palestinian Arabs, He will restore the Land of Israel back to “Am Yisra’el”, that means both the House of Joseph (All Ten Tribes of the House of Israel), and the House of Judah.

He will then redeem and restore His own “sheep” back into a living relationship with Himself. If you are chosen, as a Lost Tribal Member of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, your destiny is to return to your Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and Christian 10-Triber Vision to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This Supernal Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.

The famed mystic Rabbi, Ha Rav Nir Ben Artzi during the month of March (2017 in the first year of the Era of the Messiah) began to focus his global messianic predictions around the world. As reported by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz with Breaking Israel News, he noted of great interest how Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi’s past predictions continue to come true as prophesied.

In a recent Jewish synagogue sermon Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi unleased a litany of future and potential disasters that include not only earthquakes, major oceanic and tsunami storms, but also recent international plane crashes whose causal destruction came as stellar EMP bolides of HaShem’s divine judgement in response to global political events.

These have enhanced the notable and spiritual intent of the Divine plus includes powerful relevance to our present prophetic times. As Rabbi Nir Ben Arzi warned while elaborating with intense detail about the current messianic “birth pangs”, does give us insight in the cause and effect intent of Divine judgment upon Planet Earth and the 70 nations of the earth. As the Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi spoke:

Ha Rav Nir Ben Artzi – “The times will continue to be difficult and the judgements will continue to grow stronger: floods, volcanic eruptions, fires and heat, evil spirits, storms and earthquakes. Buildings will disappear into the ground – the ground will open and swallow places in the world. Planes will collide and get lost, ships will get lost and sink.”

“The times will continue to be difficult and the judgements will continue to grow stronger: floods, volcanic eruptions, fires and heat, evil spirits, storms and earthquakes. Buildings will disappear into the ground – the ground will open and swallow places in the world. Planes will collide and get lost, ships will get lost and sink.”

This end of days scenario suddenly erupted in March, 2016, when seven major earthquakes struck Japan and Ecuador and crashed into both coasts of the Pacific within 96 hours.

To many of the interpreting seismologists, this is only the beginning of a long range global process of evolutionary development. The rabbis and the believers of the rabbinic faith whether Jews, Lost Ten Israelites or believing Noahides, we are instead watching carefully the development of the global messianic process of recreating a new Gan Eden that will first be revealed to begin on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

As the Chazal, the Sages of Judah have long proclaimed; In the end days when the Era of Metatron, will be revealed as HaShem’s Melekh HaMaschiach (King Messiah) He will be known as the Maschiach ben David (Messiah son of David. At that time:

The Temple Mount will expand to include the whole State of Israel.

The Land of Israel will then expand to include the whole Middle East from the Nile to the Euphrates.

The Middle East will expand to include the entire Planet Earth.

The Rabbis and people of faith will then fully recognize this as part of the Universal Messianic process with the Creation of the “Commonwealth of Israel.”

The Rabbis and the people of the faith will then recognize that what we have been beholding in front of our eyes has been the merging of the two Messianic Mega-Trends; called the Maschiach ben Yosef (Messiah son of Joseph) and the Maschiach ben David (Messiah son of David)

It was in the summer 2016 that earth scientists began to see the remodeling of Planet Earth. Over 500 people were killed when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Ecuador. 1,700 people remained missing, over 4,000 are injured, and thousands more are wandering homeless.

Within 94 hours, a 7.3-magnitude quake hit Japan’s southern island hour later, while over 600 smaller tremors continued to shake the survivors. The death toll in Japan stands at 47 killed, more than 1,000 injured, 8 missing, and over 100,000 left homeless.

Other less-deadly earthquakes were felt around the world. Many scientists are convinced that this recent epidemic of earthquakes is just a prelude to increased seismic activity around the globe in unprecedented magnitudes.

University of Colorado seismologist Roger Bilham told the Express, “The current conditions might trigger at least four earthquakes greater than 8.0 in magnitude. And if they delay, the strain accumulated during the centuries provokes more catastrophic mega-earthquakes.”

Experts from India’s Ministry of Home Affairs warned in January that yet another major quake, equal or larger than the last disaster, can be expected in the region.

Seismologists at Tokyo University estimate there is a 98 percent chance that in the next 30 years Japan will be hit by another major earthquake of catastrophic proportions. Earlier in 2011 a 9.0-magnitude quake killed over 20,000 people, but its destructive effects didn’t end at mere earth-shifting.

Japan’s Fukushima power plant was designed to withstand earthquakes, but a meltdown occurred when the ensuing tsunami washed away generators powering the emergency cooling, leaking large amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere.

This apocalyptic scenario could easily be repeated with devastating results in many developed countries, including the US. Nuclear power plants in California, New York, Washington State, and Arkansas are situated near major fault lines. Other plants in Maine, Pennsylvania, and Virginia have raised concern of their earthquake survivability with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission but were deemed within acceptable standards.

Especially at risk is the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in California, which is situated directly on the ocean, making it very vulnerable to tsunamis. It sits in an earthquake red zone, in close vicinity to four active fault lines, one lying only 2,000 feet away from the plant’s two nuclear reactors.

David Freeman, a former general manager of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, called the Diablo Nuclear plant “a disaster waiting to happen.”

The facts exist that tsunamis are far more devastating than the earthquakes that trigger them. In 2004, the Banda Aceh earthquake, barely felt on land, created a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed about 250,000 people in Sumatra and Indonesia.

A recent study by seismologists at the University of California suggests that Southern California is at greater risk of tsunamis than previously thought. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake in the Ventura Basin Fault could generate a tsunami that would penetrate up to two kilometers inland in less than half an hour, devastating a heavily populated area.

It was Rabbi Yitzchak Batzri, a noted Kabbalist from Jerusalem, spoke to Breaking Israel News about how the wave of earthquakes fits into the Messianic process. There is no doubt that the earthquakes have a divine origin. As Rabbi Yitzchak Batzri pondered, he commented:

Rabbi Yitzchak Batzri – “The potential of earthquakes has been a part of the history of the world since the first days of creation, but the power that brings it into existence is God’s will. The will is triggered by human action. Our actions, in relation to God, affect His decision to enact the forces of nature, especially in things having to do with our rejecting sanctity. As King David wrote:

Psalms 104:32 – “He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke”

This describes what will happen in the End of Days before the final redemption. There will be an earthquake in Israel, but it will be beneficial, opening up the Temple Mount, bringing forth living waters, purifying the city to receive the Messiah.”

The rabbinic understanding of this prophecy has over the centuries is today now supported by the opinions of many scientists. The Land of Israel sits on the Syria-African rift, which runs along the Dead sea Valley. It passes through the area thought to be the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the city of Jericho, which still stands today.

The Biblical accounts of the destruction of the twin cities of evil, and the later account of the falling walls of Jericho, could very well be interpreted as divinely powered geologic catastrophes.

Per Dr. Shmuel Marco’s research on earthquakes and catastrophic event in the Middle East, such catastrophic events have been common to the region over the past millenniums. It was Dr. Shmuel Marco, who studied earthquake timelines and it was expected that that more earthquakes would be expected soon. Major earthquakes were recorded in the Jordan Valley in the years 31 BCE, 363 CE, 749 CE and 1033 CE.As he stated:

Dr. Shmuel Marco – “So roughly, we are talking about an interval of every 400 years. If we follow the patterns of nature, a major quake should be expected any time because almost a whole millennium has passed since the last strong earthquake. The rash of earthquakes has brought about one of those rare scenarios in which scientific theory and prophetic vision agree: earthquakes threaten our future. Man would be wise to prepare, spiritually and physically, for what lies ahead.”

According to the CATDAT database, the socioeconomic loss and metrics from natural disasters globally suggests that floods have caused the highest damage, earthquakes and storms show an increasing role in recent times. The overall data suggests that Natural Disasters since 1900 have resulted in over 8 Million Deaths and 7 Trillion US Dollars damage since 1980.

Rabbi Artiz’s predictions appeared to dove-tail closely the catastrophic waves in which from 1900 up to the summer of 2015 it appears to align themselves with numerous global incidents around the world.

The dual higher magnitude wave of major earthquakes which included a 7.8 magnitude quake in Ecuador that killed over 500 people, and a 7.3 magnitude quake in Japan that killed over 50 appears to come in alliance with global catastrophes as Seismologists were beginning to become more spiritually inclined that prophecy was connected to the end-of days. And while lost planes are uncommon in these technologically-advanced days, it is nearly three years to the day since the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished into thin air.

Rabbi Ben Artzi’s other predictions focused on the Middle East, ranging from the impact of Donald Trump’s presidency on Israel to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and radical Islam.

Rabbi Artzi carried words of encouragement to the Jewish people in Israel with the message that Trump will be good for the Jewish State of Israel and that “Trump is doing his real work in secret, so he can fix all the things that were made “crooked”. He doesn’t like to make his plans public prematurely, and if he hasn’t yet done what he promised, he will.”

Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi prophetic insight on the Jerusalem American Embassy and the bilateral Peace Agreement between Israel and the Palestinians

There has been “One presidential promise that has been reneged upon and failed in the campaign promises of his President Trump’s predecessors was the promise of the American presidents that they would move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.

This one issue has captured the international attention of all the nations of the world as to whether President Donald Trump will move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

Yet not realized due to the subdued coverage of the international media was the fact that there was currently already a delegation of two congressmen who arrived in Israel to begin scouting locations for the embassy in Jerusalem and putting the move into motion.

When it came to the diplomatic potential of a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, the famed mystical rabbi, Rabbi Ben Artzi predicted that there “would be no advances in negotiations” premised on the fact that “coexistence runs counter to the spiritual inclination of the Arabs.” As Rabbi Artzi exclaimed:

Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi - “The Palestinians and Hamas don’t want peace. It is inscribed in their hearts to hate the Jews and to expel them from Israel. The Palestinians can live anywhere else in the Middle East, but they choose to cope with the difficulties in Israel so “they could have a chance to harm the Jews.”

Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi prophetic insight that ISIS has a Divine Role in the end-time Messianic Era.

Regardless of their nefarious goals to destroy the State of Israel and drive the Jews into the sea, Rabbi Ben Artzi went on to state that “the Arab world, even avowed enemies like ISIS and Iran, will fail to harm Israel.” As Rabbi Artzi then proclaimed:

Rabbi Ben Artzi – “ISIS has an unexpected place in the divine plan – its role is actually to protect Israel from its enemies. ISIS will not be wiped out. God does not want it wiped out for they are “agents of the Divine.” He then further stated:

Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi – “ISIS creates complications all over the world in certain countries so that they will leave Israel alone. ISIS and the Muslims hate Christiansmore than they hate Jews.” Even deeper with the combined efforts of the world’s superpowers of America’s forces and the Russian military, ISIS has not been defeated.”

Yet the role of ISIS since its founding in 2014, ISIS has committed dozens of terror attacks in Europe and Turkey and killed hundreds of civilians, apart from its genocidal plan to wipe out all non-Muslims within its territories.

As for Iran, Israel has little to fear — but America does, the respected leader said. Two ISIS terrorists held several people hostage and murdered a priest on July 26, 2016 at a church in France. (YouTube)

“Iran is still working to produce nuclear weapons,” the rabbi said. “America can use the [nuclear] agreement to reveal all the nuclear sites in Iran. But Israel is not in danger from these nuclear weapons. The threat of Iranian nuclear weapons is to America and the rest of the world.”

The reality is that Rabbi Ben Artzi has made similar predictions in the past that have come true in shocking detail. Over a month ago, Breaking Israel News reported a prediction made by the rabbi that black magik will make a comeback in the world. It will be the adepts of “Black Magik” supporters that will focus on the world leaders like US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Less than two weeks later, opponents of President Trump gathered outside Trump Tower in New York City in an attempt to curse the president and his supporters. They sent out a call on social media for others to join in, with detailed instructions on how to perform the black magic.

Another of the rabbi’s predictions that materialized was concerning Russia providing Iran with the advanced S-300 anti-aircraft weapons system in the summer of 2016 when Rabbi Ben Artzi made the following statement backed by the promises of the Divine:

Psalms 37:15 – “Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken:

Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi – “These missiles, which can shoot down practically any plane, will get a virus in their computers, and go crazy.” With additional emphasis, Rabbi Ben Artzi reassured his followers in September. “They (the missiles will blow up inside their bunkers. The launcher will blow up underneath them.”

In the week before December 16, 2016, Breaking Israel News reported again, this time on the failed launching of Russia’s advanced S-300 anti-aircraft weapons system to Iran, again Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi stated that it was not necessary to worry. It was in a vision when Rabbi Nir Ben Artzi received included a biblical inspired vision when he was shown the fate of the missiles.

In December, a video went up on YouTube showing precisely what the rabbi had prophesied: a missile shot out of an S-300 launcher but its rocket failed to ignite. The missile dropped back onto its launcher, exploding inside the bunker.

We must honor the fact that as Jews and Lost 10 Israelites, we also were given access to live in the Holy Land of Israel subject to conditions as outlined by the G-d of Israel.

The condition of any of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, their remaining in “The Land” came with one proviso; “Conquer the Land”. “Drive out the Canaanites (Palestinians)” who were corrupting the land given by the G-d of Israel to Abraham in an epic contract for all ages; guaranteed by the Sovereign power of G-d.

This is the same “Divine Contract” that has been given also to the last Israeli Prime Minister of the State of Israel; Benyamin Netanyahu, which he is mandated by G-d to honor today.

As stated above, this same mandate has been given also to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as stated in the Torah:

Conquer the Ancient Canaanite lands in Galilee, Shomron (Samaria) and Judea and the East Side of the Jordan River in Basham and Assyria.

Return the Palestinians back to the lands of their Ishmaelite forefathers in Jordan on the East Bank of the Jordan River and beyond in the deserts of Arabia.

Support the Jewish people in building towns, industry, re-foresting the Mountains of Central Israel, for it is the Divine Mandate that the Jewish people and the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel must settle, plant fields and orchards, develop spiritual technology, create cities of holiness as our act of “arousal from below”.

Support the Jewish Rabbanim in creating an atmosphere of holiness in Jerusalem and the cities in Israel so that the G-d of Israel can open the “floodgates of heaven and herald in the future, Olam HaBah (World to Come) as we welcome the elevated level of consciousness that is part of the futuristic “Era of the Messiah”.

So role as G-d opens the flood gates of heaven, even we as the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, may step through the interdimensional vortex into the futuristic 4th dimensional world of messianic consciousness.

Joel David Bakst – “Just as in the human body neural pathways are already built into us, likewise the inter-dimensional pathways are already built into us, likewise the inter-dimensional circuits that spread out from Jerusalem throughout the world are built into creation.

This is the esoteric meaning of the verse, “For out of Zion” [another code name for the Foundation Stone called the Makon or “G-d’s Holy Place”, that is covered by the Even Shetiya [Golden Dome of the Rock] “will go forth Torah” referring to the renewed Torah consciousness along the “Teetering Edge of the Messianic Age.”

The future waterways referred to are not only something that will be created totally new. These virtual global “cerebral neural networks” and passage ways already have their channels carved out in the extra-dimensional planes.

The circuits or “tunnels” are already here and we must “get our motor running”, and our pulsating thought waves activated as we find our way into the higher levels of messianic consciousness. As the Talmudic Sages have stated over the centuries. The mystic sages over the centuries have alluded to these hidden meridians when, the Sages enigmatically inform us that:

In the future; the level of kedusha/holiness of the Holy of Holies will spread throughout the entire Temple Mount,

Then the level of kedusha/holiness of Jerusalem will spread throughout all of Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel and then,

The kedusha/holiness of Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel) will spread to the whole world.

Let us link their prophetic understanding as we prepare ourselves for our catastrophic and redemptive future. So what will be the potential effect of the Red Twin Binary Star have upon our Planet Earth? If we evaluate the futuristic Maps of North and Central America, this is what we may see affecting the North America including the United States, Canada and Mexico?

Water will cover the coastline of the Pacific Northwest all the way down from the Alaskan Peninsula, extending for hundreds of miles over a good portion of the States of Washington, Oregon and all the way along the California coastline to the Baja region of Northern Mexico.

Those with “eyes that can see and behold” can only ponder the significance of what will happen to Planet Earth when Nibiru's smaller solar system with its 7 planetoids races by in a close fly-by. If we evaluate the futuristic Maps of North and Central America, this is what we may see:

The volcanos in the Pacific Northwest will begin to erupt, the earthquakes begin to rumble, the tsunamis will race across the oceans to devastate the shorelines of the continents on the other side of the oceans.

The Molten Iron Core of the Earth will continue to energize more and more, so that the plumes of magma erupting from the “magnetic core engine” of Planet Earth become so strong that they raise the beds of the maritime trenches of the Pacific Ocean and push up the mantle of the earth, according to “earth-change” researchers between 200 to 600 feet higher under the waters of the Pacific.

As such the oceanic floor of the Pacific Ocean will rise from below, the oceanic waters above will begin to rise up higher and higher until 80% of Oregon, all of Nevada, 3/4th of Utah and parts of Northern Colorado will be under water.

The entire coastline of California, including San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego all the way down to Baja California will be inundated like the ancient cities of old in past catastrophes.

Parts of ancient maritime continents in the mythology of human peoples, may also rise such as the ancient mythical lands of Lemuria in the Pacific and Atlantis in the Atlantic Oceans.

The Mississippi River will open up engulfing all the lands to its south into the Gulf of Mexico.

The Gulf of Mexico will also be engulfed as water will rise several hundred feet inundating Houston and lands south of the escarpment resting to the south of Dallas and Fort-Worth.

The Islands of the Caribbean Sea will completely go under the water including the Petén in Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, Florida will be inundated and Miami is expected to be immersed as it sinks under the rising waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Atlantic maritime coastline will also be submerged east of the Appalachian Mountains. The Atlantic maritime coastline along the eastern coastline of the United States and Washington DC, New York, Philadelphia and Boston will be prone to mega-tsunamis hundreds of feet in height.

As we dwell upon these momentous days in our near future, we have to ponder the words of the prophets of the Hebrew TaNaKh and the Essene disciples of the esteemed Nasi of the Jerusalem Great Sanhedrin, Hillel the Great and his Beit Av Din, Menahem the Essene whose Orthodox disciples fled to Damascus first and later to Qumran.

Let us link their prophetic understanding as we prepare ourselves for our catastrophic and redemptive future:

Revelation 6:12 – “Then I watched as he broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became shaken by strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

Then the earth’s kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty – indeed, everyone, slave and free – hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb! For the Great Day of their fury has come, and who can stand!”

Revelation 16:17- “The seventh one poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came out of the of the Temple from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

There were flashes of lightning, voices and peals of thunder; and there was a massive earthquake, such has never occurred since mankind has been on earth, so violent was the earthquake.

The great city (Washington, DC called Babylon the Great) was split into three parts (East of the Mississippi, West of the Mississippi, and the coastline of the Pacific Northwest and California and Baja California), the cities of the nations fell, …

Every island fled, and no mountains were to be found. And huge seventy pound hailstones fell on people from the sky. But the people cursed G-d for the plague of hail, that it was such a terrible plague.”

Then compare these same cataclysmic times, in our prophetic future, as the Prophet Zechariah wrote these words:

Zechariah 14:2,4,6 – “For I will gather all the nations against Yerushalayim for war…On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, …and the Mountain of Olives will be split in half from east to west; to make a huge valley…

On that day, there will be neither bright light nor thick darkness; and one day, known to Adonai, will be neither day nor night (sun will not go down), although by evening there will be light (sun will rise from west where it went down in the west (Planet Earth just made a partial or complete Pole Shift).”

All of you have wondered how the G-d of Israel will bring all the prophetic events to their fulfillment at the time of the end. Watching the “Finger of the Divine” stirring up nations of the world is far more fascinating than watching a movie drama. The end results will be that all nations will pool all their economic resources at the “gates of Israel” and be prepared to once again to evoke the “Final Solution” this time amongst the remnant of the Jewish peoples that include all the Jews of the Diaspora that have fled to Israel as a land of safety before their life would be thrust through the "gate“ into "the world to come”.

Yet, at that time, a massive influx or possibly mass migrations of the Lost Tribes of Israel will be returning home led by the spirit of HaShem. And during this same time, the G-d of Israel is wooing each one of you, the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, to return and be restored back into brotherhood with the Jews of the House of Judah so that He will send His Messiah to clean house of all the wickedness and corruption on Planet Earth.

The day is coming soon when Hashem the G-d of Israel will stretch forth His great hand of judgment and cleanse the earth from the great pollution of man upon Planet Earth. He will take away the “blood oaths” from between the mouths of the Palestinian Arabs, He will restore the Land of Israel back to “Am Yisra’el”, that means both the House of Joseph (All Ten Tribes of the House of Israel), and the House of Judah.

He will then redeem and restore His own “sheep” back into a living relationship with Himself. If you are chosen, as a Lost Tribal Member of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, your destiny is to return to your Homelands first in Shomron (Samaria), Israel.

Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Vision to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This Supernal Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel, and preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.

Destination Yisrael scans the world for information that has relevance on the time of the end. It is our prayer that this will allow the believers in the Almighty One of Israel to “watch and be ready”. Our readiness has nothing to do trying to halt the progression of evil on our planet earth. In our readiness, we seek to be prepared for the coming of the Messiah of Israel so that goodness and evil will be manifested in its fullest.

Our preparation is a pathway of spiritual readiness for a world of peace. Our defender is the Metatron, the Lord of hosts. The time of the end suggests that the Eternal One of Israel’s intent is to close out this chapter of earth’s history so that the perpetrators of evil, those that seek power, greed and control, will be eliminated from this planet earth. The wars of the heavens are being played out on this planet earth and humans will live through it to testify of the might, power, justice and the love of the God of Israel.

In a world of corruption and disinformation, we cannot always know what the historical truth is and who is promoting evil or mis-information. We cannot guarantee our sources but we will always seek to portray trends that can be validated in the Torah, the testimony of the prophets of the Old and the New Testament, and the writings of Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo ben Zalman (famed Vilna Gaon) called the “genius” in the 18th century, and his vision of the final redemption in his collection of writings highlighted in his supernal understanding of the Torah, the Prophets and Writings as outlined in the Kol Ha Tor.

You are Israel!
The History was Revealed by the Prophets and Confirmed by Archeology, the Judgment of the God of Israel was Sealed as they were Exiled to Khurasan in Northern Iran, Eastern Afghanistan and Western Pakistan. They Disappeared into the Mists of History as they Migrated in Waves up through Georgia through the Caucasus and Followed the Tracks of their Cousin Dan who left his Name on the Rivers of his Passage (Don, Dniester, Dnieper, and the Danube) as they Migrated Northwestward towards Denmark. They Erupted into Northern Europe in the 3rd Century BCE as the Royal Scythians, Celts, Cymrics, Cimmerians, Goths, Angles, Saxons, Ostrogoths, Visigoths and Frisians.
They Populated the Lands of Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark), the Isles of the West (Britain, Ireland, and Scotland) the Lowlands (Netherlands and Belgium), the Colonies of Great Britain (United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa) plus the Lands of Northern France, and Germany. These today are the Lost Tribes of Israel!
If your Ancestry comes from any of these Lands,
Welcome, You are a “Lost Ten Triber” of the House of Israel!
The Prophets have Proclaimed, at the Time of the End, You will Return Home!
